All my life, I used to be the most snobbish girl in the entire world. I went around people bragging about things that I had while other people didn't like my level of education, my social status ect. Then one day, I lost all that. That's when I knew that nothing is guaranteed in life and I decided to change who I am. What about you guys ? What is an incident that changed your life?

It was when my family and I had an accident on the day of my sisteeā€™s baptism. Though I was young then but I was aware of what happened. It was the day I realized that life is not to be taken fir granted.

Yes, it shouldn't my friend. A valuable lesson indeed.

It was the moment I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord. It was life changing.

I believe He changed the lives of many other people, too. All you have to do is trust him.

Almost two years ago my husband needed upper back surgery. He had bone spurs pressing into his spinal cord, which could have crippled him. He's not 100% better, yet, but it was an eye opener and made me realize that good health is the most important thing we could have.

@august18 Thank you. It was an awful time, but not as bad as other things could be.

I'm sorry to hear that. You must have had a very difficult time. I, too believe that good health is one of the most precious gifts God can give you.

I think snobbish is a mistake of youth most often. I'm happy that you saw the importance of changing that aspect.

@august18 Life seems so much more rewarding when one is humbled :-)

You're right. Thankfully, now I'm the most humble person you could ever meet.

There were many. One that stands out is my first pregnancy. I started having epileptic seizures in my sleep when I was pregnant with her and they continued all through the pregnancy and for a number of years afterward. I had to change my whole way of living and until I had the surgery that corrected my epilepsy I had to live with my parents under supervision. It was a very depressing time of my life. The surgery changed my life yet again. I was able to regain my independence.

That must be very depressing indeed. I'm happy you were able to recover from it.
