What Moment in Your Life Convinced You to Change When You Needed To?

When great big change happens to us, it usually follows a moment where we truly felt how much we needed it. Tell us about how that happened to you and how it helped you finally achieve a long-desired, difficult goal.

Some people finally get off their butts and better themselves because they hit rock bottom. Others find motivation in helping another. Sometimes even greed, vanity, and other outwardly negative things can stimulate our willpower. Many moments can get us started, but few have the power to keep us going when we're down, out, and confronted with difficult tasks. What moment in your life helped you overcome a difficult hurdle and achieve what you didn't think you could?
