Is There A Eureka Moment When Searching For Success?

So, when does the light come in our pursuit of success? I for one believe that eureka moments do occur. That flash when you say to yourself. Now I get it. But first you need to understand what it is your after. If you're flying down the highway at night without the headlights on your in big trouble. Life is like that to. There is no waiting around to get inspired. It's like paying for your kids to go to university. Many will just lumber along and not know what they want. Change the situation to they are paying for their education and they will figure it out pretty fast what it is they want to do with their life. If it's your dream your success rate is much higher than if it's mom and dad's dream transferred to you.
It was the Roman Philosopher Seneca that said" Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity" This is not what I would call the eureka moment but an important step. You should put yourself in that position to be ready. Take those steps in the direction to seize the moment when it occurs. I feel that success lives in the top few percent of the population. The difference is that success does not appear in getting the job or project 90 percent done. It appears when we get it completed. It's the last bit that's so hard to obtain, yet it's so close.
These following steps will help prepare you for seeing the eureka moment when it appears. And it will...
  • Knowing what you want is paramount. When you know what it is you are after, your mind is always on the hunt towards that end.
  • Turn over all the rocks is a favorite saying of mine. You never know what underneath.
  • Search for someone who as excelled in your field of passion. They will be happy to share their defining moment.
  • Write down some goals. Your success rate will take a huge jump.
  • Accept the advise of others with open arms and see how you can adapt their eureka moment to make it yours.
  • Most importantly believe their will be a sign. That flash when you go, Oh My God. There it is right before me.
We have all had the should of, could of, would of, times in our lives. Those are in the past. I ask you this. Would you jump at the same opportunity if it came along tomorrow? If not. File it away as it will be just back ground noise that will cloud your judgement. Know what you what. You are in the launch position. When that eureka moment comes you are ready for lift off.
