Life is so full of thorns...

Life is not a bed of roses. Even if it is, it's a thorny one anyway. 

 In short, life is not smooth sailing. And that's what makes the journey of life so challenging. 

During rough times, we tend to get lost. We tend to head towards any number of directions other than the one we know we should be headed towards.

It is during such times that we need to be able to identify our turning point. And if we can't identify one, we owe it to ourselves to create one!

In this blog, I have gathered stories from individuals from all walks of life and from all corners of the world about how they identified or created their respective turning points in the their lives and made their difficult journeys meaningful, triumphant, uplifting, inspiring and definitely worth sharing among us all.

If you have important and inspiring stories regrading your turning points to share, feel free to write in.

To compete or not compete? If he was to compete, he must sneak out of the base as he could not get the authority to grant him leave. He sneaked out, took part in the contest and won first place. The authority punished him severely for sneaking out AWOL (absent without leave) but w
