Answer 5

Yes there was a turning point in my life, when my oldest son was diagnosed with autism, it flips your world upside down all right...but you learn to take it day by day and struggle to make it through the next day without losing your senses. You also learn that some things in life are over-rated and you can be blessed even if you're at the end of your rope.

Answer 6

Yes, when I read the Introduction of "The Alchemist"

Here is a part from the introduction:

Pursuing dreams:

There are four obstacles.

First, we are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grew up with the idea, and it became so deeply buried in our soul, it became invisible.

If we have the courage to disinter dreams, we are then faced by the second obstacle: love. We know what we want to do, but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order to pursue dream. However, we do not realised that love should be a stimulus, not an obstacle.

The third obstacle: fear of defeats. We who fight for dreams suffer more when it doesn't work out. There is nothing to fall back on for we have staked everything on it. The secret of life though, is to fall seven times, and get up eight times.

Then comes the last: fear of realizing the dreams we fought all our lives. The mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary person with guilt. I've known of many people who, when their dreams were within grasp, went on to commit a series of stupid mistakes and never reach their goal, when it was only a step away.

But is you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, you understand why you are here.
