21 The I got it Moment

Have you ever just suddenly understood something? Like it might not have even been what you were thinking about in that moment, but you just gasp out loud and are like, ‘it makes sense!’ 

That’s the I got it moment. 

I do that a lot when I am writing. That I will spend days thinking over a decision or a specific scene because I don’t know what to do and out of nowhere, it hits me like a train, bam, I got it. All of a sudden I know exactly what I should do. I am still waiting for that moment with what I should do with my life, but it has not yet come, so I shall continue to wait. The I got it moment was the reason I began working in education in the first place, as it is so rewarding being able to be the person who gives someone their own I got it moment. I have taught a lot of difficult skills and life lessons to people in my role as an educator, and in all of that time, being there when someone fully understands has never gotten old. It is the reason I continue to stay in education.  

You can give someone that moment, I am actually guessing you already have, even if you don’t know that you have or even if you weren’t doing it on purpose. There have already been occasions in your life where you went from not understanding what was going on, to all of sudden it struck you like a bell. Because sometimes, when things are confusing, you just need a change of perspective, and then all of sudden, you got it.
