When I was 13 or 14, I was coming out of a depression and my epiphany was something like "Life is a comedy and I get to watch."
Then at 16, I realized something like "I can't put my life in the hands of someone just because they say they will take care of me. I am my primary care taker."
Or like Liz Murray (wiki her, its amazing) when her mother died and realized that people are just people. Kids who go to Harvard are as human as kids who skip school. What makes them different? Whatever it is, you can fill in the gap.
So what are some of the epiphanies you have made in life. I just turned 18 so I only have 2 I remember.

The biggest one I have had is that God led me to my husband, and He let me know before I even met my husband. We have been married for 10 & a half years, but about 5 & a half years ago, I realized God had even sent me a sign concerning my stepdaughter before I had met my husband. We met almost 12 years ago.

When I started computer programming, around the age of 11-12. I had an epiphany that I could do anything imaginable in a virtual computer world with only a handful of commands. I only need an "If" command to compare two variables, Arrays, and a "Goto" command. With those three things I was ONLY limited by the computer's speed and memory. This is also the time I realized that I could create strong Artificial Intelligence.

i did not choose an epiphany for the period of the divorce. It got here long formerly that, and is the clarification I left interior the 1st place. The epiphany substitute into that I by no ability laughed any greater, and did not like the guy I had substitute into.

1. That control is an illusion.
2. I can't do it all.
3. That the things we can see(physically) are temporary and passing, yet the things we can't see(spiritual) are eternal and have lasting value.
4. That God is working behind the scenes doing for me what I can't do for myself.
5. I am a sinner who deserves death and hell, but by the shed blood of Christ, I am saved and will inheret eternal life when my time is finished here on earth.

It seems so very simple in retrospect. I suddenly realized I would never be thin enough, rich enough, smart enough, dumb enough, and all those other things I thought I needed to be to be 'good enough' for everyone else. I was pretty, nice, smart, and anyone who didn't realize that was the real loser...because they were losing out on sharing my time and life. One of the few things I wish, is that I had realized that sooner.

Everything that goes through my brain doesn't have to come out of my mouth.
I couldn't change my passive agressive mother, but I could change how I reacted to her.

That striving to be 'good' was hopeless...I could never be 'good' enough by the standards I was raised by....and the universe accepts me as I am, warts and all.

That we're alone in the Universe...no god or heaven. And that our lives are only what we make it and have no other meaning. It was like seeing the man behind the curtain and seeing the fallacy of the Wizard.
