Wished I had the courage to do so..

Being in the corporate world for over a decade. I had opportunities to apply for onshore opportunities in the organizations I worked in.

At the start of my career, I never gave in to the thought of travel as I felt comfortable in my space and work here. But halfway through my career, I began to feel the need and was lucky to get one.

The sad thing was that it lasted just weeks. I had some concerns that reduced my stay and brought me back. I felt miserable that I couldn't go back and waited for another opportunity. But with changes in policies and queue of many aspirants, I think luck has faded.

I wished I could have addressed my concerns differently with more courage. May be I could have made it ! Life is unpredictable, but so is luck. I wished I had the patience and willpower to tackle the unforeseen situation at the time. I was married and had high hopes to start a new page to my new life abroad, but in vain.

Now, it feels like a struggle, and chances keep growing slim with age. Living in debt and anxiety of the unknowns, I keep thinking if that was my only chance that I would have this regret with me.
