Definitive Moments in Life

Life is full of moments that define your life and change it forever. What is the most definitive moment in your life?

I posted this comment on Facebook last night. The responses were wonderful. So, I now pose this question to the blogging community. What is that one moment in your life that changed how you view the world, live your life, came up with your personal philosophy, the moment you decided to make healthier choices; maybe it was the moment you found God?

One person asked me, after sharing her moment, what my definitive moment was. My response was when I crossed the finish line last year at the Richmond Marathon running 26.2 miles with only 1 month of training and after going through Chemo treatments. I then realized I could do anything I desire. It is the moment that keeps me going when tough gets tougher.

So what is your definitive moment or your life changing moment? I look forward to your stories.

  1. The day I had the chance to escape an abusive relationship was the day I began to take control of my life for the first time. I no longer allow myself to be put down or harmed by another person or to give up my wants, values or goals due to other peoples expectations, desires or threats. This is my life and I am only going to live it once. Fortunately, I have been given the opportunity to live and I will do so. I will try not to hurt anyone, ever, but never again will I say, “It’s ok, it’s only me.” and accept being treated poorly. I make my own decisions and I am responsible for the results of those decisions.
