dotpaw podcast -Turning Point(s)

The phrase “turning point” originates from the 16th century, derived from the verb “turn” and the noun “point,” referring to a moment when something pivots or changes direction. It initially described physical turns, like a road or river bend, but by the 19th century, it gained a metaphorical sense, indicating a critical moment of change in events, lives, or history.

Turning points in history are pivotal events that significantly altered the course of human events. Examples include:

• Fall of the Roman Empire 
• Renaissance 
• American Revolution
• Industrial Revolution 
• World War I 
• Invention of the Internet 
• Major life events: Marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or death of a loved one.
• Career changes: Job loss, promotion, or starting a new career.
• Personal growth: Overcoming addiction, spiritual awakenings, or major self-realizations.
• Relocation: Moving to a new city or country.
• Trauma or crisis: Illness, accidents, or financial hardship.
• Education: Graduating, dropping out, or pursuing new studies.

These moments often reshape priorities, values, or goals, leading to lasting change.
