s Could be someone that you’re still in contact with, a coworker, a health professional, family, a friend, a partner etc, or could be someone that you briefly met years ago that left a good impression.
I think I would say that my counsellor of the last 9 years has changed my life the most. If it wasn’t for her guidance, advice and understanding, I don’t believe that I would still be here today.
My wife without a doubt. She's Buddhist and like a master of positive and productive thinking. It's extremely rare that she thinks negatively about anything.
I was into Stoicism when I met her but I still had a tendency to interpret things very negatively at times. Being with her helped me a lot to learn how to better control my emotions and develop more positive thinking patterns and mainly by her example.
She is still better than me that way. I am always learning and growing from her. It's a rare treat when my wife thinks negatively about something and I get to reframe her thinking to the positive, since it's usually her doing it for me.
u everyone in my life did... the ones I'm close with
but for this one I will go my Luna dog... her love meant everything to me, at that one point...
and even with her last breath and last heart beat she healed me like only she ever could...

My sister's half sister from her father's side. I lived with my father's family for some years then moved back to my hometown with my mother's family. My mother's family was a little more poor but because of my ability to be more independent, I stayed. Anyway, at one point I was living house to house and my sister's half sister let me live with her for like $300 month. She helped me get a car, etc. I feel like if it wasn't for her- I wouldn't be the person I am today. She truly helped me grow up in a sense. Most people are thanked enough for how they help people in life, so I always randomly think of her and will praise her. And sadly, she's not in the best place so I think my thanks and praise uplifts her.
Currently my best friend - he inspires me daily to be the best version of myself and I will be forever grateful for that
but over the years there have been a few people with a similar impact
even people that weren’t close friends - through inspiring me to achieve goals or nudging me (even accidentally) into the right direction
my best friend... it involved slamming me against the wall and a long lecture about trust and friendship... quite extreme but it worked :D I don't think I have ever felt so scared as I was at that moment... I also think he has never felt so hurt as I made him then...
he literally taught me how to open myself to other people... how to let them in...
One person is difficult to say. There are multiple people who have helped me a lot to change my life for the better.
But if I must say one person. Its my best friend. He helped me through some dark times, was there for me when my sister died and at her funeral. He always welcomes me to stay at his house when I need a safe space or to detox from my home for some time and helped me to get professional guidence for some mental struggles and past-experiences.
My wife. I met her at a time in my life where I was going through a lot of turmoil. I almost moved to Colorado because I wanted a fresh start in a new place.
I had no real direction in life besides trying to have fun. I really was going nowhere.
My kids... I was always bullied for be too tomboyish and a flat chest and always felt ugly but since they been born my confidence has sky rocketed
My sister. We didn’t always have the best relationship when we were younger but I don’t know what I’d do without her now.
My wife. Its not so much "She changed my life" As it is i chose to change my self for the better, to be a better man for her. She met me in a very low point in my life.
My Ex because all thanks to her i know for sure what i do NOT want in a romantic partner lol. i'm being a little facetious but i do take the lessons from that experience with humility.
I'm not sure that I have one , but at the same time I've had a number who have played a pivotal role , in both sport and life.
I would have done many things differently if I had my time over.
Jesus Christ.
If that doesn't work for you, my mother and father. It's really hard to credit one person as all people I love and care about has contributed in some way to making me the man I am today.
Ken Tamplin. He taught me how to extend my vocal range without thrashing my throat.
My Husband.
Nobody. I don't know that I have ever known anybody that wasn't either jealous or only around to take advantage. A few acquaintances did not fit in to these categories but weren't influential either.
There’s been so many people, it’s hard to say just one.
The person in the mirror
That's me myself no one else ever did anything for me
My parents taught me about the world and how I should approach it.
I opened this thread to see if anyone would say “you”
My boyfriend.
