Which personal event (relationship, job, whatever) did you not understand at the time, but only in retrospect, by piecing things together and reinterpreting them for what they were?
What assumptions or traits prevented you understanding it at the time for what it was?
What did this teach you about yourself?
What brought on the moment of realization?

I'm looking for SPECIFICS about a personal event - tell me specifically what, when and why.
clamcrunch and enksemail are the only proper answers so far.

Oh so many! I think one of my top lessons would be when my husband and I moved in with my in-laws while we were in transition. I was so ungrateful for the blessing of them opening their home, and I hated not having our own space after being married for 7 years. There were expectations on both sides, and from the get-go I didn't want to be there. Regardless of how difficult it was, I know that I didn't treat the situation, nor my in-laws like I needed to, and I saw how selfish I truly am.
As for the moment of realization, it's been quite a few moments, friends and my husband helping me see my "reflection" and just even growing up some.
I'm not sure this is what you were going for, but that's sort of what I understood you to be asking.

Having a a baby replaced my existence for the more effective looking back. i presumed that having a baby would tie me down, that i'd omit going out, eating, partying and that i'd ought to change right into a "mom" and that i'd lose my identity as a individual. Now that I somewhat have had a baby, I comprehend that, sure i'm tied down and that i do not go out partying and eating like I did before. That stuff doesn't pastime me anymore. I somewhat have higher ad more effective issues to occupy my time time. I knew after I got here abode from the wellbeing center. i did not turn on the television for weeks. All i had to do replaced into watch this infant. It has humbled me and taught me that there isn't any longer something moer worthwhile contained in the international. i comprehend this sounds corny and cliché even with the undeniable fact that it truly is cliché because it truly is authentic and that i do not imagine you are able to somewhat comprehend it till you've a baby. it truly is so bizarre, I continually seen myself an somewhat non violent andnon-violent individual. I wasn't a worrier or uptight individual. Now, I somewhat have this manner of shielding intuition about my daughter. I somewhat have targets the position I kill human beings becasue they attempt to ruin her. Now I evaluate the exits in a progression and function finally submit those smoke detectors that were laying round for months. i wish this wasn't too a lot rambling and it helps!

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ...
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
--1 Corinthians 13

When you´re a kid, you don´t understand why you were born. As time goes by, you are confused about why you were born. When you finally have your love life, carrer, beleifs and you know what you want from life, then you understand why you were born.
That´s what I have understood in restrospective.
