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 two 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.

Well, you got to learn how to stand by your decisions. Learn from your mistakes, but don't dwell on it too much. The more you think of it, the more you'll be depressed. Do something else, keep your mind occupied with other stuff like crafts, clubbin, girls (or dudes if you are into guys - haha). If you cry about a mistake, what good is it going to give you? Don't worry about life too much! believe me, I've been there! Enjoy life! The more you make mistakes, the stronger you become!

Learn from your mistakes so they weren't a total waste. You can't change the past so don't dwell. The only mistake you make is the one you repeat.

Live and learn and decide whether a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Celebrate what you are doing right and stop those thoughts anytime they enter your head.

Suck it up and shake it off. You missed out there is nothing you can do now. Thinking about it just gonna cause stress.
