Isaac Newton was twiddling his thumbs under a tree; Steve Jobs was taking a stroll in an orchard. Then they had one of those unforgettable, connect-the-dots moments, when everything suddenly, somehow clicked. Yes, we’re talking Aha! Moments. All inventions, innovations, and breakthroughs started with one Aha! Moment.. EUREKA. AHA! We use triumphant terminology to describe what has for centuries been believed to be an essentially inexplicable, metaphysical experience. Einstein called it the Sacred Gift. Some call it intuition. Others describe is as Divine inspiration. For centuries we have believed that people stumble upon breakthroughs by chance or through some stroke of genius. But what if genius is not a chance occurrence? What if we can deliberately create more Aha! Moments in our lives? Neuroscience says we can. New scientific discoveries have now overturned two centuries of metaphysical musings when it comes to breakthroughs. Recent MRI scans show what happens to our brains when we are producing an AHA! Not only can AHAs now be quantified in empirical facts. We now have the effortless and accessible tools to deliberately create them.

In 1988, Matt Goldman co-founded Blue Man Group, an off-Broadway production that became a sensation known for its humor, blue body paint and wild stunts. The show works on the premise that certain conditions can create “aha moments” moments of surprise, learning and exuberance frequent and intentional rather than random and occasional. Now Goldman is working to apply the lessons learned from Blue Man Group to education, creating Blue School, a school that balances academic mastery, creative thinking and self and social intelligence. “We need to cultivate safe and conducive conditions for new and innovative ideas to evolve and thrive,” Goldman says..

At age 20 I started dieting to lose about 10 pounds. Six years and numerous diets later, I GAINED over 40 pounds! I was extremely depressed and my self-worth was in the toilet. My aha moment unexpectedly came after I started dating a new guy. After several months, I felt happier than I had in a long time. I started living and loving life again. After ten months together, I was suprised to discover I lost weight. It was only about 5 or 6 pounds but the point was I hadn’t been trying to lose weight. Years of struggling to lose weight why was I able to lose weight now without even trying? After some soul searching, I realized just how unhappy I was with issues going on in my life then, but had ignored these issues and blamed my weight for all the unhappiness I felt. With this realization, I changed my attitude and my lifestyle. I focused on creating a life of good health in all areas of life: mind, body and soul. Within 5 months, I lost 35 pounds and have kept it off for over 23 years. Encouraged by a friend, I wrote and published a book about my experience called “I Finally Understand! A Personal Weight Loss Story”.. Experience more aha moments at http://www.mutualofomaha.com/aha
