What defines a personal crisis?

Many people go through crazy periods of time and question  everything about their own lives. There have been books written about personal crises and movies made over the subject. Therapists and counselors make their living by other people's crises. But what really defines a crisis?
Does someone have to wake up and realize that their lives have not been as productive as they would like, or that they are living a life without meaning to be in a personal crisis? What about the little things? What if someone is controlled by their fears? What if they are afraid most of all of the future and what lies ahead?
I believe everyone goes through some kind of personal crisis in their lifetime. Maybe theirs is relatively small compared to someone else,  but it may be a crisis all the same. So many things can be considered a crisis when you truly think about it. Boys, girls, school- whether to go or not- and even work and family can become your own crisis. The important thing is to keep calm, focus on what you want, take your own advice and trust that even if your world is shaking and upside down right now, things settle and crises end. You just have to enjoy the ride, and remember not to take life too seriously. :)
