Which event caused a complete behavioural change in your life?

I'm going to sound like I'm a completely spoiled child, but in some ways I was. This was one of my wake up moment that I had to fully stand on my feet and I cannot rely on my parents bailing me out.

I had a love-hate relationship with running. Prior to this event, I didn't want to do it anymore, and this event made me realized that I could have fun running, when I didn't care about the clock. So I focused on that instead and have been running regularly ever since.

It's a simple sentence but it woke me up. Ever since then, whenever I feel fear of attempting something new, I think of what do I get to lose, and it's almost always something I can handle.

Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone. So much so that I had forgotten when I felt comfortable. I learned so much and grew so much in the process.

I'm still processing it, but it's humbling to realize that having the courage to quit is perhaps as important as the grit to continue

Unfortunately, the change wasn't positive. This one puts me in a depression. That solitary life doesn't work well for me.

I still remember the feeling, but what also strikes me was, somehow we found the strength to go on. Perhaps the fear of the nightmare is worse than the nightmare itself.

I decided I want to prove that person wrong.

So I refrained from sugar since I was in high school. (My blood sugar level has always been normal)

I've so many of these I didn't even need to motivate myself to do it: sports, eating healthy, learning languages, and now idea list with NotePD!
