Someone told me once "...the thing about missed opportunities is there is always another one right around the corner..." Focus on making your here and now the way you want. Do the things now that matter. We can all imagine an idealized world where everything worked out perfectly...but how horrible would that be? To not experience all the pain to make the pleasure worthwhile. Sometimes it takes decades to realize that experience that scarred you can have a cause/effect on your life in a positive manner. In my case I know that if it hadn't been for every bad/adventurous decision I made in life led to where I am now...and there are parts of the here/now that I would not trade for any amount of money. The people I care about, my ethics, my attitude...everything would be different without the experiences that weathered me. Stop thinking about the potential millions lost...start thinking about how you are going to lose the next million.
