Thought provoking video! For me a life altering moment was definitely when I decided to volunteer. I used to be a part of an amazing project that was aimed at creating a positive environment and activities such as arts and crafts , cooking etc for kids in children's care center. I realized that teaching and working with kids it is my labour of love. Today , I am a preschool teacher. Have a good one ! ❤️
Oh wow! That's a great story Flora, you'd have been perfect for our interview. 🙌 Also a great incentive for people to get involved in volunteering... I'm sure if both myself and Isi volunteered at a dogs home then we'd probably end up doing it full time.
This didn't necessarily change the course of my life, but in 2019, I quit my job after on going issues with pay. I didn't have a plan afterwards, but I knew I couldn't keep working there. In the end, I volunteered on a French farm for a month as part of a cultural/language exchange programme and it was one of the best things I've ever done. So not life changing but very empowering.
Thanks for sharing James, seems common that most people feel trapped by work when in theory its a fair trade agreement. I also have a very similar story to yours which has led both myself and Isi to Easy English.
I think Covid times was the most difficult moment for many people over the world, and it could be harder thinking about the people that we were lost and passed away
Unfortunately the war 🇺🇦 was kind of a call. I barely remember the life before but now I know for sure what my life should be like. Not complaining, it’s ok, don’t feel sorry for me, I’m alive, safe. Just enjoy your everyday life, say all of the important stuff you may be afraid to say cause there is only “here and now” guys. All the love 💕
Good to hear you’re safe. Reading this put a few daily things into perspective. I hope future life is kind to you and thanks for your year of support 💙
Very interesting stories! I like this kind of episodes. As for me, there where some important changes in my life like moving to Japan or becoming a mother. But the inner shift which made me realize what life is all about came with a big loss, and I believe it’s the same for many other people.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a common wake up call for us all... hopefully this video can help people see that it's possible direction before life hits you too hard.
I can't totally say that the decisions I hesitated the most about were the most fruitful. Changing university studies and changing careers to name a few. If you feel like doing it, you probably should do it!
@@EasyEnglishVideos You know what? This exact episode might be a very inspiring and informative video for many people. English native speakers too. Try more subjects like this ;) I'm a brain person. My hesitations were very logical.
That's a very nice episode with deep answers, I like how many became more family oriented after their moments of change 👍 The family is more important than we think when we are young and care only about ourselves.
How did I miss this awesome video? Is the man that lives in Australia, Scottish? What a lovely “accent” he has! Getting a scholarship to work in Austria right after college was the best thing that happened to me. I was the happiest I have ever been in my existence and weirdly I was aware of that then! Moving to the USA was the most regrettable decision I made in my life. Being away from Family and losing three of my grandparents and especially losing my father was a blow that took me a long time to “recover” from, rather accept and learn to live with… I am sure these experiences shaped me and taught me something but I haven’t been able to figure that out just yet!
Wow… thanks for sharing your story, I’m sure the person you are today is a result of these things. The concept of death seems to be an important part of life for developing and understanding who a person is. The guy was Scottish 🙌 He was a really lovely guy to speak to and we kept on chatting after the camera stopped recording.

@@EasyEnglishVideos so sorry you had to go through that but I am so happy the universe brought you to us viewers!
I think moving to the UK was really it. Immediately felt like home!

English people are really intelectual and logical in their way of explaining situations .. waw 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I hope that our 'stiff upper lip' attitude disappears... I love it when people are so open about these things.

Great input Szczery 🙌
Makes me want to do an episode along the lines of;
Do you follow your heart, or your head?
@@EasyEnglishVideos You know what? This exact episode might be a very inspiring and informative video for many people. English native speakers too. Try more subjects like this ;)
I'm a brain person. My hesitations were very logical.
@@EasyEnglishVideos that would be lovely! Yes please! Looking forward to that episode!
@@klimtkahlo I think we might end up doing it with a special guest 🤫
Finally, a new video is put out👍👍👍
Thanks Mitch
🙌
That's a very nice episode with deep answers, I like how many became more family oriented after their moments of change 👍 The family is more important than we think when we are young and care only about ourselves.
That's a good summary actually... family & friends always seem to be the direction people turn to when things go south.
Amazing

ЛАЙК !!! 😊

What I want to know is what my fellow English sound like when they are speaking another language.
If you live by the minimum moral principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," you will be able to get by.
War in Ukraine has changed my life
I hope your country has peace soon
@@EasyEnglishVideos thank you so much

Well, the biggest life changing moment for me would definitely be finding a napkin.
But that is a long story, too long for comment sections
