I think Pip is trying to state in this confusing sentence if you remember a day in your life when you did something, and you were bound to it, there was nothing you could do to get out of it, you were trapped. Pip is obviously referring to his apprenticeship to Joe, and how he felt right after it was given to him, shameful and indecisive. His attitude towards the apprenticeship is a drastic change from the first half of the first act to the second part. From Chapters 1-9, he imagines being a blacksmith a wonderfully glorious thing, something admirable, thanks to Joe. Pip's judgement towards Joe really decided his wanting to become a blacksmith because he was the one person that was a real friend to him. In Chapters 10-16, Pip's frequent visits to Miss Havisham's cloud his judgement towards becoming a blacksmith and he feels ashamed, thanks to Estella's cruelly judgmental remarks. He wants to become a gentleman in these chapters, and I think that its totally ridiculous he does. He expects that he deserves something better than everyone else, but that's not how life works, Pip doesn't realize that yet.
A life altering day for me was when i joined the crew team I guess. It was over three years ago and the first time I got out on the water I got an ejector and I flew out of the boat in the water. It was pretty scary at the time but my friends still make fun of me still about it. Anyways, I've been doing it for a while now, and not only is it a hard sport, but I'm committed, and it definately has lead to a chain of events throughout my life.
