Eureka! Eureka!

Eureka!

Gold, perhaps?

Or, an equivalent moment worthy of celebration?

It occurs to me that we tend to hold back big words like EUREKA for big moments. Perhaps we feel that it needs to match Archimedes’ bathtub discovery, or those gold rush days.

What if our eureka moments happened every day? What if we allowed ourselves to celebrate eureka style for finding the word we were looking for, the answer to a puzzle, a great cup of coffee, or a solution to an everyday problem?

What we focus on is what we get. Focusing on celebration, gratitude and optimism is known to have a positive effect on us, and those around us.

Focussing on the eureka moments might be just what we need, don’t you agree.
