How do you decide how to start your story?

Story & Character Development
There he sat. The organ grinder. asked:


Like, how do you decide where you want your story to start? Because of course there was things going on before in your characters lives, since most authors don’t begin their stories with the main characters birth, but the author usually just starts at one point, and then has the character have flashbacks or memories to what happened before the story started.

I’m not sure if everyone is going to understand what I’m trying to say, lol. And please don’t tell me to start writing, because I just want to know how YOU decide how to start your story. Thank you.
