Three years ago I received a job offer in another city. It was a better role, better company and a significant salary increase. I rejected it after giving everyone a long list of practical reasons.

The truth is I was scared. I had never lived alone and didn't know anyone there. The company later grew rapidly, while my own career has moved slowly. Sometimes I look at people working there and imagine an alternate version of my life.

How do you make peace with opportunities you lost because you weren't brave enough at the time?
