How Do You Cope With Age and Wasted Time?

[SharpeningBlade]

Hey all, this is my first post. I am very happy to have discovered the Millionaire Fastlane (a little over halfway through now) and I feel fortunate that I found this active forum of entrepreneurs. Well as a brief intro I'm 34 years old, and I feel like I haven't done much at all. I have acquired a bachelor's degree in computer science from a good state school, travelled a bit too, but haven't had a serious job in the industry since I graduated two years ago. Other than that I just have work experience with lowish paid retail / warehouse jobs. I recently launched a business to do freelance web development but haven't looked for clients yet as I'm building up some sample projects to show as a portfolio and I'm looking for higher paid jobs in my field now.

Anyways, on to the question: I can't get over the fact that I feel I have wasted so much time in life. I'm a completely different person than I was 10 years ago, but other than growing as a person I haven't grown professionally or financially. How can you get over this psychologically? Does it ever leave your mind, or are you just always aware of this fact as you go on about your business pursuits? If so, how do you push forward while this thought is constantly in your mind?
