To have resentment toward lost opportunities and jealousy toward others who might have things you do not is human nature. But to hold on to it doesn’t improve our past and stops us from creating a better future. One thing I know is that some of the best opportunities in my life came from jobs I wanted so badly but didn’t get. Even though it bugged me at the time, I got up after falling and moved on to what was next. Things definitely happen for a reason, but what happens next is often based on your reaction. Don’t let resentment or jealousy hold you back. You can use it as fuel to move forward, but make sure you let it go.
