What was your most significant Wake Up Call in life?

when i got out of 8th grade and realized i need friends, and i need a life

Oh man, dated a emotional abusive ex for almost 3 years. I guess my biggest wake up cal happened when dating here and it was the last date before i broke up with her when I realized, holy shit I dont love her, shes abusive, if i stay with her I'll get hurt or might run into more trouble because of her. It was such a big wake up call and I realized when I saw another couple fighting lol

My biggest wake up call was when I realized that my life would be the same in 5 years as it had been for the last 20. This kicked my ass into high gear and I haven't looked back. Well, I do, but only as motivation to keep moving forward. I couldn't imagine dying a broken man, so I chose to, instead, create the future I wanted. This is my life, my only option.

Also, getting a mentor really helped me because trying to do difficult things on your own will only lead to frustration because you won't see results as quickly.

Nothing changes if you don't and the sooner you realize this, the better.
