An Epiphany is the sudden awareness or realization that a person gains through any specific experience in life. I am sure every one of us might have experienced such moments in life which might have changed our life completely. Earlier, I never believed that this is possible but lately I started believing that we do experience such epiphany moments in our life and trust me, it impacts our life in a huge way. In an epiphany moment, we can either sink or swim. It depends on our mind set and perception towards the emotions generated by that epiphany moment of our life. In other words, epiphany moment is one which changes your perception towards something in life and after that, your life is no more the same. It creates a different magic and doubles your energy towards the life. Does this seem like any fairytale or a movie scene to you? No wonder, coz even I used to think the same until I have experienced this magic in my life. I started believing that epiphanies are the big moments that help make sense of our life, and they have ripple effects that are true for everyone, and not just us. Life is too unpredictable. When I say this, it is not just re-iterating the quote but sharing the experience of life. In these many years of personal experience with the game called life, I have seen and experienced all kinds of phases. Every difficult phase in life had given me terror but I always somehow got the courage to face it and overcome it. It is so true when they say that life just goes on. It never pauses or stops, no matter what it just keeps going and so do we. We might experience a difficult phase or situation in life or might be leading a completely tough life for years, but still this should not stop us from moving ahead.

I believe that life isn’t meant to be lived perfectly, but merely to be lived boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly and magically. If we believe in magic, we’ll live a magical life. If we believe our life is defined by narrow limits, we’ve suddenly made those beliefs real. An epiphany moment is the one which creates that magic in your life. It might be a moment with yourself, your family, your friends, a moment at your workplace, or may be with some unexpected person or an incident which just changes every bit of your life after that magical moment. To identify or believe in such magical moments of life, it is important for us to believe in our heart that we are meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles. The moment you understand and accept the reality of life, you tend to focus on tiny tiny miracles hidden in life. Have you ever experienced any situation in your life where you have few people who have been present in your life since many years but they were not present in the closest circle of your life or had any major influence on you? But all of a sudden, you start feeling that they are a very important part of your life and your life has become more beautiful by their close presence in it. Or, have you ever felt that the work you do everyday which has become a major part of your mechanical life and suddenly one day at a particular point, you feel this is the work you love to do and you see yourself giving your best at it? Have you ever experienced a phase where you felt that life has been tough at you and you are tired of living the same old tough life and suddenly there is something that happens in your life which gives you a positive hope and you start living your tough life happily or may be you start thinking of changing this tough life into a happier one? If yes, then these are those small magical epiphany moments of your lives which gives you a hope towards a better and happier tomorrow.

Many a times we feel that life has never been the way we had imagined it to be and get upset because of not meeting those expectations in life. But if you think deep on this thought, it is important for us to analyze, realize and understand that life might give us hundreds of reasons to worry and get upset with it but it will also give you one strong reason to be happy and feel blessed and that one reason is enough for us to change our life into a happier place to live in. It is just that we need to identify and understand what that one reason is. It might be in form of a person, passion, work or a responsibility. Life never fails to give us options at every stage of our journey but it is we who don’t put efforts to see them or realize that they are the best ones for us and that they might change our life forever. Once we realize this and are sure about what we feel and identify that magical epiphanies of our life, there will never be looking back again to the darker side of the life. Life will suddenly seem to be like the best and nothing less than a fairytale. These epiphanies are ideas, answers, but they are also questions. They are questions, that when asked, create a shift that you can feel undoing limiting beliefs. The moment of epiphany is a beautiful gift in life. Who does not like gifts, right? A small child residing within each one of us gets excited on the name of gift. Realizing that there is some special quality within us that shines brightly or that there is someone very special in our life who makes all the efforts in the world to bring one smile on our face and is happy even if he/she does not get anything in return other than that smile is definitely a best gift life can give us and it is no doubt a rewarding one. This feeling of insight can be the lantern we hold to light our way. I still remember the years of feeling aimless and carrying all the other emotions that tag along. I remember the vagueness of partially seeing or feeling that I was more than what I actually was. But like so many of us, I couldn’t quite cut through the fog and it was disheartening and frustrating. So when I finally started having these moments of epiphany in my life, it’s almost undeniable and irreversibly motivating to see the best change in my life. Realizing what is the most special gift or ability can lead us to discovering a life filled with full of love and happiness. And this is definitely a life changing experience. Have you ever felt that life isn’t fair? Well, that’s true sometimes and at some point of life, each one of us might agree to this thought. But after experiencing all the magic life has given me, I feel we can make it fair, if we try enough for it. Sometimes, we carry on with our lives blind to certain injustices. But the day when we realize that something isn’t okay and we should do something about it, is the day when we find our potential for powerful change. I would like to tell each one of you out there to experience these epiphany moments in your life but I would only hope that your epiphany is morally clear and does no harm to anyone. Because, this epiphany moments can make us brave, empowered and unstoppable at times.

There are ultimately two choices in life – To fight it or to embrace it. If you fight it, you will lose but if your embrace it, you become one with it and you will live the life to the best possible way. I have learned a best lesson through the experiences life has shown me that it is important to embrace your individuality. Love what you love without worrying about the judgement. You might have limitations on your actions but you don’t have any limitations on your emotions or on the way you feel for someone or something in your life which makes you happy. We must travel our own journey at our own pace; should not rush the process or assume that we have to accept someone else’s choices for our life. Keep all your worries aside and just follow the path your heart takes you. Remember, worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow but it empties today of its strength. It is required for all of us to understand and agree to the point that life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. We are not suppose to resist them coz that only creates sorrow. We need to let the reality be the reality. We need to let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. If there is something which is happening in our life naturally then we should accept it as it is meant to be in our life. If you have a strong will of something to happen in your life, don’t wait for the opportunity but rather create an opportunity and put your efforts in making it happen as your happiness lies in it. Take small risks, face the challenges, overcome your fears, get inspired by others, have the focus on your goals, be confident about yourself, feel blessed and embrace every moment of your life.
