regret is such a bad feeling. it makes you wonder about the 'what if's...'.

especially after making what could possibly be a life-changing decision.

like a career move.

especially a career move where you have to take a pay cut.

and have to adapt to a higher cost of living.

and just get by on your paycheck.

and you are envious of your friends at the old organisation who earn big salaries.

and travel the world on paid-for training courses.

flying business class.

who have investment portfolios and can afford to save some money for the future.

who have houses.

what do you tell yourself?

when you can only look on in envy.

when in fact you knew what you'd be in for.

you knew you'd have to make sacrifices.

all in the name of doing what you want to do.

and thinking that hopefully, what you're sacrificing now you'll be able to recoup in the future.

but you still look at them and think...'what if...'

people say that money can't buy happiness...

but do you notice that the only people who say that are people with money?
