Light Bulb Moments
Throughout our lives we experience occasions when that proverbial ‘light bulb’ clicks on! Those are the moments that can change our lives, and often do. Most of us experience them but few realise the real significance at the time, or are too busy to take notice and do nothing about them!
I’m not talking about those ideas that pop into our heads whilst we are in the bath, or lying in our beds - those are called ‘Eureka’ moments and although they are also important, they are not quite the same. ‘Light Bulb’ moments occur with the sudden realisation of an idea that has been going around and around in our head for weeks or even months or years! We really don’t notice them but are strangely aware that they exist.
These subconscious ideas often originate from something we have seen or heard at some stage. It may be something that shocked or disturbed us. It may be a situation that we encountered that we felt could or should be changed. It may be as simple as something that we wanted, but were unable to find.
Unknown questions are being formulated, asked and answered within our subconscious minds about strange ideas and subjects that we do not fully understand, things that have been set before you, events that have happened, things yet to happen .... and then all of a sudden ..
Wham!
.... a message or thought is received that makes everything so clear! It is so clear that it is just like a light being turned on in a dark room exposing both the questions and the answers! This is what is called ...
Having a ‘Light Bulb’ Moment
I’m very lucky in that I’ve been able to do this for years ... but often I didn’t see the light for its brightness and just walked away! The secret is that when it happens you have to STOP and see it for what it is!
You think I’m mad don’t you? Well I may very well be mad, but it wasn’t until I’d a number of these that I started to question my thinking. Long before they actually happened I’d dreamt up ... and documented
eBay - Online Auctions - different name of course and some what different!
Credit Card Sentinel - Credit Card Protection - Even used the same name
Loyalty Cards - Reward people for shopping with you!
Social Networking - OK not quite MySpace but near
So the lesson I have learnt is this ... if you have a ‘light bulb’ moment, don’t just ignore it and switch it off, take notice, watch, listen, research and then take some ACTION! - You never know it might just change your life!
