Everything has value if only to teach you what not to be.

I thought I was a great playboy. I never lied to anyone and took my "jollies" where I could find them. I thought being brutally honest was a saving grace. Often I was cold and heartless moving from "flower to flower" as it suited me.
Then I fell in love with a woman who was just like me. A selfish hedonist. She used me and left me at the alter. It took me a year to recover. That experience changed me.......for the better......it made me more compassionate......more empathetic

Annabelle, I willingly admit that Answering your Questions has truly motivated me to change or reform and become the person I am today.

First, there's nothing much to reform. Change, for the better, is more appropriate. My family, especially my beautiful children.

I have always been the person I am today so no change or reform was required.

a lot of things.
probably mainly just high school. high school changes anyone with emotions.
family- because i grew up without a real family. i had to learn at a young age to take matters into my own hands because i had no one there to do it for me.
friends- they helped me through a lot and told me when i was being stupid.
and mistakes. i made a lot of them.
they changed for for who i am today.

...my career...

i used to be sensitive to criticisms (be it constructive or otherwise) before but the demands of my work in sales required me to be strong-willed and mature. my work sometimes cost me quality time with my loved ones but on hindsight, it made me more appreciative of my precious moments with them.

Allowing myself to dream of what I'd like my future to look like; then come up with a plan and stick to that plan to achieve it. The vision helped shape who I have become (and am still becoming) and the system of accountability and courage to strive towards it helped me get there. Lately I've found a cool free website called Sproximo really helpful in keeping motivated towards my goals. I like the way it asks me to clarify my goals and devise a game plan.
