Recently there was a good opportunity that I was seeking out and didn’t get. I had thought about it meticulously overtime leading up to the big moment and but was disappointed when things didn’t go out as I had originally planned. I questioned if there was anything that I could have done differently to garner a different result. It was tempting to fall into the could of, would of, trap of regret.
