I realize now that my psychological problems were the reason that I did not progress more "satisfactorily" during my career, which covered many decades. Too bad, a word to the wise, work on your problems from the beginning of your career.

Hey Cygnus, I have a perfect 20-20 hindsight also! I can look back and see how things could have been different "if only..."

The challenge for me is how to put the wisdom I have gained into practice later in life.
I read a book that helped

Thanks for the insight! And of course look at it this way: we might regret choosing option A instead of B. But maybe if we had taken B things would have been even worse, how could we know. Better to just look forward. Thanks again.
