Many times throughout life we have we call 'defining moments' moments that we remember for both good and bad reasons.
These moments actaully shape the way we think, act, are habits and are beliefs. Isn't it funny how something that could have happened when you were 6yrs old could still be shaping the way you live when you're 40. BUT that is exactly the case.
Everytime something happens in our life we give it a meaning, we decide how it is going to effect us and we hold onto that meaning for the rest of our lives.
We all have significant emotional events in our past that have shaped who we have become and the choices we make. If it's important then it's important.
I saw this morning myself 2 ladies working across a garden a small dog was with one of the ladies and bounded up to the other. The second lady freaked out and starting screaming and yelling at the dog and the first lady. What was going through her mind when the dog came to visit? What past meaning and defining moments had taken place in her world growing up?
Throughout life depending on your age you could probably find 6+ defining moments that have shaped your world.
The question is are these defining moments serving you and the life you would like to be living?
Remember if you can give meanings to events you can also change the meanings that you have given these events.
