    It's weird how in one moment, your entire life can change. In just one split second...

    Whether for the good or the bad...your life changes and you can never go back to the way it was before.

    I haven't decided whether I like this or not...

    What was one moment that changed your life? Was it for the good or for the worse?

    One moment that really changed my life was when the woman I thought I was gonna marry broke up with me after 5 years of dating. Yes I know I'm young but... Really I guess it was for the best. Now I'm free to do what ever the hell I want.
    (Fuck I'm lying....) Hell it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

    that's all life is, a big series of fleeting moments. anything can happen between this moment and the next, good or bad. that's what I love about it.

    one moment that caused a butterfly effect of positive change in my life was when I was sitting in front of my computer a couple of years ago and decided to get healthy and stop wasting my life.

    Sounds like you had an epiphany, a paradigm shift which has allowed you to live out your Laplacian Dream [​IMG]

    1 moment, one decision I made, a few words.. and maybe a second.. years ago.. made my life what it is now, made me where I am now. But.. did it really? Was it really because of that moment, or, would it have happened anyway, the same, just.. not because of *that* moment and *my* decision, but.. another way, yet my life would have changed that way? If there is such a thing as fate.. probably.

    I am in a state of rapid change right now.

    All change is good. We learn from it. Better to change than become stagnate in life.

    If you do not like the results of the change you can change again.

    Maybe to change one's self...but it's impossible to change others and events that may happen around you that you may have no control over, but what still influences your life.

    You are right. I cannot control other people or unexpected events. However I can control how I respond to them.

    For me the change is moving.

    Absolutely. But the free shape their own destiny and only the strong survive.

    In one moment, your whole life can change...and you can never go back to the way it used to be.

    It scares me.

    I've had several moments that have changed my life completely... If I sit and think of the change as being bad it will put me in a mental state that I do not care for or like being in. It's all how we preceive things and the change that happens. Bad crap happens that changes our lives forever, but if we sit and dwell on how negative and bad the change is then you will just keep sinking further and further into all those negative emotions and then the cycle will repeat itself. Life changing moments happen, it's better to look and move forward then it is to sink back and stand still...

    The moment I decided to sell everything I own and just go travelling.
    Best thing I ever did in my life.

    The moment my mother died when I was 2 changed my life. I occasionally wonder what it would have been like to be raised with a mother. Good or bad? No way to know.

    Of course the moment my daughter was conceived and the moment I met my husband. These were obviously good.

    I don't feel qualified to say what's good or bad in my life until much much later. If ever...
