Reaching a tipping point in one's life can occur when a situation shifts from one state to a completely different one. This can happen suddenly, such as a parent reaching their tipping point with a behavior, or gradually, such as discovering a passion or new direction in life that alters one's path. Just like how a small action, like pulling a book off the shelf, can lead to a significant change in perspective or course of action.
