Regretting. Need advice. Help?

Recently, I had a job offer that was more money (25% + more)and promotion. Because of greed of getting more money than the original offer, I held back. Because of my mistake, the deal fell through and the employer hired someone else. This has been really bothering me. It has been nearly three months now and I can't get past this. I cannot even focus on my current job and my family. I don't know what to do. I feel like I missed out and it's bothering me beyond words. I have never felt like this before. Call it crazy, but I sometimes even get to tears. Help! How can I overcome this? How would you rank this in terms of a regretful life event? Thank you for your help.

First of all, you need to understand that you shouldn't regret what you did. Promotions and job offers always require more commitment than before. They require much more time and effort. It would most likely have drawn you away from your family and your other priorities. I know this may not sound right to some people, but money doesn't bring happiness. Many who are rich end up getting divorced or have a bad family life because money ends up becoming their top priority (although they never notice it). They're never satisfied with what they have because they ALWAYS want more. I should know. I am growing up knowing SO MANY people who think that having a big house and a nice car and better clothes and accessories is the key to being happy and successful. But when you look into their eyes and talk to them, they're sad and unsatisfied and miserable. Please, don't regret the choice that you have made. Spend as much time with your family and draw close to them. You seriously made the right and wise choice. Please trust me.
