I am asking in relation to a college project based on identity and how significant moments can change who we are. I am collecting anonymous stories and hope to use them in my final piece. Thanks in advance for your time and help!
Can you name a moment in your life that changed everything? Something that changed who you are today?
Ive had 2 experienced that changed me in a dramatic way ,first when i went to nepal when iw as 20 years old as a volunteer i was living there for 6 months and its an experience i'll never forget.Nepal is a very poor country and i got to experience things that a simple tourist would never experience.It really woke me up and when i came back home i was so different from everybody else.Everybody else was stuck in the same mentality of wanting more and not appreciating what they have.I didnt like it,i actually didnt want to come home,a few years of being back home made me depressed and i had depression for 6 years.
The second moment that changed everything was a few years ago when i beat my depression,i studied the wisdom of yoga and also learned how to meditate.I beat depression very quickly simply by learning how to raise my level of mind,i learned allot of great things from yogi's on youtube and spiritual healers and guru's etc i learned how to beat stress,depression,anxiety and learned so many other things that has made me a much better person than i used to be.

Let me tell you something, I was always for this moment of enlightenment, a moment that will make me understand everything and help me to change.
I just discovered that this moment doesn't have to be outrageous or supernatural. This moment is actually happening to me when I read an inspiring book, When I hear an inspirational story, when I get connected more to my soul. Sometimes it happens every day, sometimes every month. It is ongoing. And its thanks to this ensemble of moments that I'm changing my mind, becoming more positive, aligned with my purpose and peaceful :)
The moment I was told I had breast cancer. I was positive when having the lumpectomy, unfortunately that failed and in the end I had to have a mastectomy. All the way through the treatment I kept strong and told myself I would survive this. That was eleven years ago. Ever since that day I am a calmer, stronger person. I appreciate every single day whether good or bad. Because I remember I nearly didnt make 45years.
btw I envy your visit to Nepal Paul B. I can imagine how life here must have looked to you on coming back.
