It's a month since my last competition and you know what that mean?!

🐺 COMPETITION TIME!!! 🐺

After the success of my last 2 competitions, I think this one will go through the roof!

Many of us have seen these movies where our hero is at the bottom and then he or she has this ‘epiphany moment’ and they manage to turn the situation 180 degrees. What I would like to know from you is:

🐺 What was the most motivating moment in your life? 🐺

_{From zero to hero, after he finds out that he's been tricked by Gollem}

Examples:

• Sam in LotR kept being dismissed by Frodo for not being right in his suspicions about Gollem, until he’s even sent away and finds the lembasbread, then he turns around and saves Frodo from a Live and Death situation
• Chris Gardner loses everything in the Pursuit of Happiness (this is based on a true story). He is at the bottom until he meets a guy on the street with a fancy sportscar. He asks him what he does for a living and he is told, he's a stockbroker. Chris manages to land an apprenticeship and through sheer will and hard work he makes something of himself from living in the streets and having to sleep in shelters and metro-stations

_{Chris Gardner's turning point}

What I would like to know from you is a small story, based on your life and what made you make a U-turn in your life, what motivated you to do something and take your life in a different direction?

The rules are more simple and yet more exhaustive this time:

1. Write a post with your answer and mention my competition
2. Post your link below this post and upvote this post, no link or no upvote = no entry in the competition
3. Another question that's not obligatory to answer is when did you read this book? This will give the why more of a reference to me
4. Please remember I like to keep my posts suitable for everyone and family friendly, so racism, sexism or any other way that people might get offended will not qualify for my competition
5. The winner gets 10 SBD
6. The competition will run for 1 weeks and closes on Monday 12^th March at 19:00 my timezone, which is GMT +1
7. Payout of the prize money will occur at the latest 24 hours after the competition is closed, so on Tuesday 13^th March at 19:00
8. I will run all answers through plagiarism tools, to see whether your entry is copied from the internet. Anyone found to have copied their answer of trying to falsify their entry will be excluded from this and any future competitions. My competitions are about opening up conversations and discussions, but not about an story that isn't your own.

I really look forward to reading your answers and having interesting book discussions with you.

Good luck!
