Granted, we don’t and shouldn’t have them every day, because if we did, such moments would not likely rise to “Eureka” status.
Eureka moments are breakthroughs, realizations or discoveries which we experience suddenly and unexpectedly. And unless they’re captured, they will vanish as quickly as they were recognized in the first place.
Record these sparks of insight, moments of clarity or reactions on your Smartphone, or if you prefer, have an ample supply of Post-it notes readily available in places where, in your experience, these occurrences most often happen. Don’t have these moments only to lose them.
Eureka moments are often the catalysts for launching a project or they may help you gain momentum in an area of your life where you’re currently stuck. More importantly, when these experiences foster success, they set the table for future triumphs – which fuel self-esteem, self-image and personal fulfillment.
