What Crisis In Your Life Turned Out To Be A Blessing In Disguise?
We've all had curve balls and unexpected events happen to us. Which one seemed most devastating to you at the time, but turned out to be a great turning point in your life?
If other please post.

This list doesn't cover 10% of the life-changing events people go through. I'd say mine was a combination of: (a) marital problems, (b) work-related problems, and (c) depression. Caused me to finally start thinking about myself for a change, lose weight, join a gym, get in shape, divorce and get a new job (all in one year). Been happy ever since.
Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right!

Losing a job by getting fired for bullshit reasons. At the time I was really bitter but it really made me sit down and think about what I wanted to do, which is how I ended up running my own business...and I've never been happier.
Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.
