Realizing Something New

Insight often feels sudden.
One moment, you let go of old beliefs
and begin to see things in a completely new way.
Building a meaningful life is much like gaining insight—
it’s a shift in how we see, not just what we do.
But is insight truly sudden?
Not exactly. It only seems that way.
It’s like boiling water.
Nothing appears to happen at 99 degrees,
but just one more degree—and suddenly, it boils.
Insight is the same.
It’s a gift that arrives
only after life has simmered long enough.
