That's a hard one. It could be the kid I had at 15 (still with the same woman, now married, and a couple more kiddos). But maybe bigger than that was finally getting a job that allowed for disposable income at age 27, or that that same company went public years later and I got a windfall removing all debt. But other keystone moments include the following. As a teenager, internalizing a proverb I read: if you can't do something about a situation, don't worry; if you can, then do so and don't worry. Earning a full academic scholarship to university where I took my first programming course. Taking a sales type job that requires talking to strangers (which I also failed at, but the people skills have been a great reward). Starting CrossFit with a very knowledgeable coach which led me to being stronger and eating healthy (mostly the removal of sugar). I could go on.
