Timing.
Sometimes, it may come at the worst of timings.
That's why in my opinion, we should be prepared in case the timing comes for opportunities to show up.
And when opportunities we never thought about do show up at the worse of timings, we should always weigh the decisions we are going to make against the consequences / results from the decisions we make.
Then we'd know the sacrifices / things we lost from making that decisions going to be too overwhelming to take, and it wont be the best decisions to make.
Well, at least that's how I make mine, by listening to my heart and hears the noises that come with it. If it's calm, means it's a potentially good decisions, and I will have to live with whatever consequences that comes with it. Thus I'd imagine the worst case scenarios that might happen and think bout how I'd react to it.
Whether an opportunity is a regret or not, it's all a matter of perceptions. If we can live with it without losing the things which are precious to us, then it's not a regret at all.
There's always other opportunities looming, if there isnt; make or forge one.
Like what the saying goes, "When a door is closed, a window always opens somewhere.."
Good luck always comes to those who live life optimistically and simple minded, well, that's what I always think anyway.
