    There were several of those overwhelming experiences that gradually changed my outlook in life. But no matter what, I constantly try to hold on back personally my real own nature at the brighter side..Not to forget what I really am as myself, eversince.

    Have a wonderful time..!

    All experiences alter ones outlook on life in some way, although most of those changes are subtle.and go unnoticed. The cumulative effects can nonetheless be as great as a single event that makes a dramatic change. Also, a positive reinforcement of one's outlook is a change too.

    Getting thrown in Jail at 16 for burglary, arson and strong arm robbery. Just to name one but the reality is that all my experiences change my outlook on life. Some just to a greater degree then others.

    When i realized adults may not always be right, they don't know everything. Sometimes to look for truth one needs to search by themselves and go separately, alone and dig for truth in their own company, through our own gut instincts. The world is full of biased information, lies and doubts. But at the same time it's one of the things that make life an exciting journey, the gathering of knowledge where facts may not simply lie there at our fingertips but sometimes are hidden beyond. It's a gradual experience, it didn't occur instantly)

    the experience that changed my life was the day i helped my first person, and turned down any payment in return. I have been helping people all my adult life since then professionally and during that profession, i helped people after work for free year after year. Have a good one. Remember, the world is blessed because you are here.

    Many things..... but these are the main perspective-changing things Ive encountered;

    * Giving birth to my son

    * My closest cousin being killed in a car accident, seeing him laying in a coffin opened my eyes to how precious life is.........

    * Being abused by my mother growing up & finally accepting and forgiving this.... it was a grand leaping step for my soul.
