Realizations, AHA Moments and Breakthroughs

The single most important thing any person who wants to live a meaningful life can understand is that there is a unique brilliance that is locked inside of everyone whether it’s realized it or not.

When exposed to the light of day, this exceptional thinking ability can affect results and change mediocre into spectacular quickly.

The secret is to realize when your best thinking occurs and take action on your ideas.

For many that's an impossible task. Here’s why.

From childhood, a lot of people are conditioned to believe that they are less than someone else. Phrases heard in younger years such as “You’ll never be as good as ___” or “You can’t do that,” all lead to feelings of inadequacy.

As an adult, you carry these thought patterns deep inside. In fact, they are so deep they have become the fabric of who you are today. When you have an idea, it is often first viewed from the standpoint of being inadequate.

That is what kills brilliance. You cannot trust your greatest asset (creative thinking) because you have been conditioned to “believe” you are not good enough to be brilliant.

Those who trust their ideas and move forward with them are often called exceptional. In fact, there is nothing exceptional about them except for the fact that they trust their ideas enough to take action on them.

Secret number one is to realize that you can have great ideas.

There are times when you are inspired. It can come from many sources but often just “hits” you. We’ll call those AHA Moments. They happen to everyone frequently but few take action on them.

All it takes to break the cycle of childhood conditioning and act on your AHA Moment brilliance is courage. Take a deep breath and move forward. Take your idea into the world and see what the outcome is.

Acting on inspired thoughts can create wonderful results. Even ideas that don’t work are stepping stones that help you see a bigger picture.

The result of acting on those AHA Moments will often create a tremendous event called a “Breakthrough.”

Breakthroughs are where Realizations and AHA Moments meet.

The result of a breakthrough can be spectacular. I always enjoy showing people where their greatest talents lie and help them create something exceptional from that inspiration. In fact, it’s one way I help Solopreneurs who aren’t sure of what business idea to pursue focus.

The bright light that turns on when someone sees their greatest potential clearly is amazing. That is the power of a breakthrough in action.

It’s really nothing more than inspiration that is realized and turned into a result.

The same hold true for sales processes. When a business owner sees their work as a created value, from their client’s point of view, a light turns on. It’s an AHA Moment on the highest scale.

From there, the process of how to turn prospects into clients becomes obvious. Again, a breakthrough occurs.

The steps to being brilliant are simple

Realize you can have great ideas. Trust that those ideas are worth pursuing.

When you have AHA Moments act on them in spite of fear and doubt.

Enjoy the breakthrough and validate yourself for having them. Then simply be inspired to learn from your AHA Moment or enjoy the fruits that specific breakthrough provided.

Then move on to you next inspired thought. It’s not a onetime event, it’s a process that repeats continuously throughout the course of your life.

As human beings we are all creative "thought machines." We are the only form of life on Planet Earth who can create results that started from a simple thought.

Enjoy that realization and you will become a person others call brilliant.
