Fez of Mahrez Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Is there any one moment in your life that you think has changed your view of things ever since?
Libertine Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Father's passing. Pretty screwed up ever since.
Bert Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 If you want something go for it. At least then you won't spend the rest of your life thinking, what if? If you get what you want, then it's good times. If you don't get what you want, then at least you won't spend the rest of your life wondering, and you can move on to better things. I did something simliar to this just over a year a go, and now my life is so much better for it.
davieG Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Losing a child makes you realise how mortal we all are and that it only takes the click of your fingers for it to happen and for some tomorrow really doesn't come.
skinnydipper Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Not quite a life changing moment but the Clive Stafford Smith documentary 14 days in May did totally alter my views on the death penalty
Tommeh Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Never been the same since Barrys last minute equaliser for Plymouth made it 2-2 and ruined my 18th.
Lillehamring Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 30th birthday - long story - but onwards and upwards ever since
AmericanScott Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 Father's passing. Pretty screwed up ever since. Same for me. Happened when i was 16 and things really went downhill from there. Toughest thing i've ever been through but it's made me a stronger person. A positive life changing moment is when i met my lovely wife to be
jonthefox Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 my life changed overnight ( i now realise for the better) when i became a dad.
Alexikokopops Posted 12 October 2009 Posted 12 October 2009 I remember going to a friend's house when I was about 5, getting served a cheese and bean toastie and refusing to eat it for no apparent reason. Haven't eaten baked beans since. Life changing.
Flynny Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Yeah about 3 weeks ago. Genuinely. Reading a book and all, what a sad bastard I am.
Raj Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Trying to commit suicide in my teens. And lately Ikkle Roma being born.

Jon the Hat Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 my life changed overnight ( i now realise for the better) when i became a dad. Mine too. Sounds like a cliche until you experience it, but it really does put everything else into perspective.
ACF Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 In 2006. We had just moved back out to Australia (long story), and we were just getting settled in. Then my grandmother, who I was very close to, became very ill, and sadly passed away. I was torn-up, I wasn't sure whether I should be back living in England, with all my family, incase something like that happened again, or stay in Australia with all my mates. Have not changed since. I miss every member of my family, but I can't leave because of my schooling, am at a stage where I can't leave the school. Seriously thinking about doing Uni in the U.K.

Dr The Singh Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Losing my virginity, i've not been the same since!!! Having children, each one has made a massive impact on my life!! Witnessing the Sikh massacres and genocide by the indian government, it changed everything I believed about my heritage and for the better, it gave me the courage to study who I am, what I am, and where I come from!!!!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 My first sip of beer........ I think may 28th 2010 if it ever comes around will be life changing. Giving up my comfy 'easy' life to wing it and travel mostly on my own (after the first month) with no ticket home. It really is going to be the unknown and I can't wait.

Tommy G Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Dunno really. I'm usually a pretty motivated guy but my motivation for anything at the min is lacking big time
CosbehFox Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 The day I had to change my lifestyle was the following.... Arctic Monkeys announced a secret gig at Leic Uni and I ran off to line up and gett tickets. I went to the bank and got my last 30 pounds from my bank account. Desperately trying to ring my friend and arrange for him to come with me later tonight knowing he was working in Mkt.Harborough. He wouldn't answer or couldn't answer. I don't blame him, I had ignored him for 2 months previous. I waited and waited in line, eventually people began coming out of the building and telling their mates how much they cost etc. It was £17.50, I only had thirty pounds on me and it was my last 30 pounds in my bank account. I walked the 50 minutes back home feeling like shit, I had hit a brick wall basically. It was time to sort myself out straight. Without sounding daft, it was the reality shock of that being my last thirty pounds which got my arse in gear. That and climbing up the stairs or going to bed felling out of breath every night. Awful, horrible moment.
