It was a good few years back that I had this crazy awesome idea that I wanted to start a company called AHA moments.. As someone who loves to create fun, happiness and just celebrate life to the full, I felt like this concept of creating these take-your-breath away moments through different experiences, gifting and travel adventures would pair well with my passion for living life fully while inspiring others to do the same…
Fast forward a few years to the present day, and I find myself not only having ever founded or started this company/idea/initiative, but a bit more lost, confused and overwhelmed than I expected to be at this stage of my life! And yet all hope is not lost… here it presents itself – in a completely different form or manner than I could have anticipated.
The Meriam-Webster dictionary defines the aha moment as a moment of sudden realisation, inspiration, insight, recognition or comprehension. Most of us must have heard or even used the expression “aha moment” at some point in our life to either capture the mood of the moment when finally remembering the name of that song or that person we just couldn’t remember earlier, to seemingly life changing ideas from a business initiative to that next move we just have to make in our lives…
While to many it appears to be this once-off lightbulb moment, my life and experience have taught me that the aha moment is often made up of a series of moments that lead to this eureka experience. I’ve had a few experiences where seemingly insignificant moments or conversations or the reading of a passage in a book or magazine or even watching a movie set off a chain of other moments that made me have my aha! moment to make me realise that I was ready for the change needed in my life at that point..
As such, I have also come to realise that we can have many aha! moments if we’re just aware and alert enough to look out for them. As they say, it’s often the little things that lead to the big things.
So as I share my stories and experiences through my daily posts, I hope that you are inspired to also start noticing, embracing and eventually celebrating these little moments in your life that most often lead to these big, life-altering lightbulb like moments.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I look forward to journeying with you moment by moment, and hopefully leading to some awesome aha! moments for you too!
Much love always, Poonam
