INSIGHT

An insight or realisation is not an idea, it’s a way of describing fresh or new thought that brings increased understanding and clarity. We are designed to have insights as something that comes unexpectedly to mind that suddenly makes perfect sense to us and shifts our Way of Being in the world. Fresh thoughts come all the time but we don’t see them until our assumptions or beliefs are challenged. Habitual ways of feeling and thinking get in the way. It’s not easy because we feel our identity is threated and we defend ourselves like a hedgehog, instead of opening ourselves up to new possibilities like an octopus. It’s about being curious to learn and embrace uncertainty.
