Regretting a Mistake. Need advice. Help?!
Question:
Regretting a Mistake. 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.
Answers:
You have no choice but to just move on. There is no point in crying over spilt milk, as they say. You played the wrong card and you were trumped - that's it.
There is no going back and you need to accept that. The past is over, done. You need to consider that if you let this one thing control your life, you will lose your current job and possibly your family as well.
How are you going to cope if something really serious happens in your life? Money is not everything and you have hopefully learned a lesson from this, but your health and the health of your family is MUCH more important.
