There are moments when we are feel we totally blew off a certain life opportunity. Opportunities are rare, most times, come once in a lifetime. We are not always prepared for life opportunities, hence, why we sometimes blow them off-carelessly. Although, there are some opportunities we see coming, but due to bad decisions, we blow them off.
I got a job offer some years back, it was really unique and exciting opportunity to do, making lots of money from something I love. Then, it happened that I started having issues, the job was really consuming. I had zero time for myself and family, I worked round the clock. It was exhausting. I started having this uncertain feeling about whether I would be able to succeed at it. I started having problems with my wife, and it got to a point I just had to choose between her and the job. I blew everything. Now, I realize what a great opportunity it was. I have a good job now but it’s nothing compared to that unique job I had back then. I always think about it and every time, it still makes me very sad. May I add that my wife and I are longer together, we got separated.
This may not seem serious to you but this is very important to me. Few years ago, I had a girl, we were always hanging out together-doing games, movies, outings, street foods. The friendship was not well defined as we were both shy to admit each other’s feelings. We were very cool and close friends, our mutual friends thought we had something serious going on but we knew we were just friends or oh well, deceiving ourselves. Eventually, there came a time to finally tell her about I feel about her, it was during a live show we both we for. I screamed into her ears and told I really like her and would like her to be my girlfriend. She smiled at me, I was wondering if I said it the wrong way. She replied “why did it take you so long to say?” I made her know I wasn’t sure about how she felt about me and I wouldn’t want to spoil our friendship. She told me she didn’t know I was really that interested in her, that she already got someone. I was so much destabilized immediately. That right was a missed opportunity. She’s happily married now and she still teases me about how I was so slow with professing my feelings to her.
