In 1955 I was ready to take a holiday to Switzerland where my sister then lived. The day before I was due to fly I saw a poster which said come to Sunny Cornwall. I got on a train did just that, met a girl the first day on the holiday and have now been married to her for 53 years. I often wonder what would have become of me if I had gone to my sister, but I am really glad I didn't

Yes, I have made a decision that changed my life for the better. And it was a "quantum leap" for sure. However, I planned in advance to make sure things turned out well; and guess what? They did! I'll always feel happy that I made that decision even though it was very painful at the time. I was looking toward the future and my life is wonderful now. Thanks for asking a thoughtful question!!! Godloveya.

Every thing you do can change your life.
Your life changes even if you make a decision not to change it.
Each day I choose from things in front of me to do or not to do.
But all in all each day is much the same as the day before.
And as I near the end of my life I am glad that there are things I still can do.
Of course lots of things would be different if I had made different choices, but then much could have been the same.
The place you live, the mate you choose, the children you have, the job you do. We all make choices in this area even if we choose not to choose.

Several events have changed my life, but the one that changed me the most was the decision to get in the car with my friend one night to go to the mall.. He had had a couple of drinks but wasn't drunk. I rode with him and on the way there he went the wrong way up an on ramp to the highway and we had a head on collision. I broke my back, leg, sternum, foot and hand and was in the hospital for 8 months. I almost died. To this day I suffer with chronic pain from the accident. I'm 33 and disabled. One decision changed my life forever. The accident happened in 97. Never get in the car with anyone who has been drinking, at all.

I can look back at my life and reflect upon every wrong, no difficult path i have taken and what it might have cost me...
and then i connect them to at least 3 good, no 'most excellent' rewards, benefits, growth I have now.
wouldn't swap em - don't have nothing by todays standard
and yet by my standard I have everything...
sometimes the pleasure is sweeter because of the pain of the mistakes...
I am 30 in case i sound like old drivel and don't belive in god neither can't say his been of much use!
I belief in myself anit no-one can diss you in the end no matter what you choose to do
people will only ever comment in the beginning because they fear for you - if they love you, or they jeer at you.
End of the day you work hard treat everyone you come in contact with with decency you gain respect not because of anything else clothes, colour, car
If you play the long game while they have been doing the ups and downs on the merrygo round of life - you'll have found you.
cant beat it - the sensation of respect - honestly gained respect.

I guess because I was talking about this just recently, this is still fresh in my mind, but when I chose to leave law enforcement because I knew it wasn't right for me. I took a huge step. I stepped into an unsecured future. I dove into school and came out as a nurse.
It was hard because I liked being in law enforcement, but it didn't feel right and there were so many things that didn't come NATURAL for me. So it was hard too. Plus being a female put me in a position that I felt like I had to prove myself. I went hands on with a lot of people and had throw myself into fights.
I don't regret my decision. I didn't belong there. It was scary tho when I left because my future was uncertain.
I think I would have died of a heart attack if I had stayed a cop. If I hadn't, then my SGT would have...he was always on to me for something....he he...I was a little demon child.

That's the definition of life, isn't it? The child who bunks of school, the teenage couple who have unprotected sex, the saying yes to marriage, or no, the choice to have a child, the decision to light that first cigarette. The decision that you are OK to drive, it's not far and you only had a couple of drinks. need I go on? even the decision to get out of bed in the morning may change your life!!!

Yes choosing not to have children, I would not have the life I have now if I had chosen to have a child so the decision was right for me and my husband.

Of course yes. If I have not let my girlfriend go on her way who really did not understand my objectives and goals, I would just be a shop keeper in some part of INDIA than a World Bank Consultant.
