Defining – Aha! Moments

Ever been stuck with a problem you can’t seem to solve? You’ve been trying your best, but you still can’t make heads or tails of it. So, you decide to take a break. As you walk into the kitchen, you see the coffee dripping into the pot and suddenly, the solution hits you in the head! It is so obvious! You can’t understand why you didn’t see it before. That is the spark or moment that bridged the gap between being clueless to clear understanding. That is an “Aha!” moment.

This moment of clarity is like having a flash of light giving us a glimpse of the layout in pitch black room as we try to navigate around all the fixtures safely. In just one glimpse, all our uncertainties and worry about maneuvering through the room is lifted, and we have a good sense of the layout and how to reach our destination. These Aha! moments may help us with our small problems or it may reveal something that changes our lives forever.
