I have 5:

1. When my ISU acceptance letter arrived in the fall of 1996
2. When I got married in the fall of 2006
3. When my oldest daughter was born in early 2009
4. When we moved to metro Detroit in the summer of 2011
5. When my youngest daughter was born in spring 2016

Hmm. Outside of 3 and 4, I seem to have life-changing events every 10 years or so.
 
Getting my first corporate job..resulting in....meeting my life partner, learning more than I ever did before, traveling all over the country for business and pleasure, and now consulting.

Found a picture recently of what had to be one of the first fish I ever caught 30-some years ago.

Can't say that was the one event but certainly a part of the chain of idea that it's vital to always do what you enjoy doing.

Getting fired from my second executive director job after blowing up at a board member in rural northern Iowa.

1) My wife and I still got married 6 months later so even at my stupidest she still stuck with me.
2) It forced me away from small non profits where monthly we talked about light bills to a large corporate non profit where I've been able to move up about every 2 years to a now significant program as a director over a program spanning 8 states and 28 staff members.
3) It got me out of Iowa and its safe feeling and have now worked in 5 different states and 2 different countries.
