Thanks for sharing, Hugs4u and Cerrydwyn!
 
Certainly, sometimes it's hard to foresee how life decisons will impact us down the road. Tough outcomes can make it challenging not to let ourselves get down about a decision.
 
How do you think you've grown as people as a result of having learned through these experiences? 
 
Would anyone like to share an opportunity they took in the past that turned out to be much more helpful or positive than they first expected?

I have plenty. Two big ones is regretting leaving Houston. A long time ago when i was still in High school I moved to Houston to stay with my dad as honestly a act of rebellion towards my mother..or more of a wake up call to her to remind her that I was the child not the adult (she started having me pay rent at 13..by 15 I was completely supporting her and going to high school while she did drugs and partyed)) We had a confrontation and i litterally got up and left to live in Houston. While there I landed a awesome internship with HISD as a Networking Specialist. It was the best paying and funnest job Ive ever had, but my mom called begging me back and per usual I could not say No..so i left. Ive always regretting the missed opportunities I could have had if i had stayed and taken the more pemanant job opportunaties and training I was offered. But at the same time, I may never have had my son or met my hubby if I had stayed. LOL. Its strange the kind of things you can look back and kinda wish you could go back and try over huh.

I always wished I'd taken a volunteer opportunity many years ago, just as was on the cusp of changing my career.
 
I had an opportunity to work with a software group to develop software for the disabled, which would have been cutting edge.  That would have prepared me for studying IT, which I did anyone, with great difficulty.  My heart wished to do volunteer work, and that combination would have changed my life.
 
Have others had a decision or wish they regretted not acting on
