Years ago at a training seminar the concept of an “ah ha” moment.  I cannot remember the course objective or even any other content.  The “ah hah” moment concept, however, has stuck with me.

This is about that sudden point that arrives every once and a while when you feel like shouting – “I understand, let the bells ring out and the banners fly”.

Seeing the light

Coming to a gradual understanding usually takes longer and can often be arrived at through a series of “ah ha” moments. These moments of seeing all clearly are important both for their long and short term benefits.

The value of the “ah ha” moment , and the reason this concept has stuck with me for so many years is not in the moment itself.  Rather the important factor is the recognition of the moment.

The Power of Awareness

The fact you have suddenly been struck with a flash of brilliance (understanding) is of course very kool.  In reality on it’s own, the clarity is of liile consequence.  Only by recognizing the moment when it occurs can you embrace and put it to work for you.

The power of the ah ha moment lies in the leveraging of it to achieve a goal, resolve an issue or perhaps just gaining a sense of self satisfaction (feels good).

None of this can occur without that sudden thought -ah ha –  and from that point the power is within you ( or the force is with you).
