I was rejected for an internal promotion even though I was the most qualified.

I later learned that the person hired was a friend of the hiring manager.

I got tired of office politics and started applying to other jobs.

Within a month, I found a much better job.

Three months later, my old company asked me to come back.

I told them, "No thanks."

Stop telling yourself you're not qualified, good enough, or worthy.

There's nothing as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.
