Epiphany To Epiphany
Learning isn’t linear.
If you study for 30 minutes each day, you don’t necessarily increase you knowledge by 30 minutes each day.
Even though the time you’ve devoted to study goes up in a linear way, your knowledge usually grows by a leap here and there.
Learning usually moves from epiphany to epiphany, or “Aha!” moment to “Aha!” moment.
Whenever I have an epiphany, it strikes me that I feel like I’ve always known something and, at the same time, that I’m only just now getting it. It’s a good and strange feeling.
I’ve been wondering what that means and here’s what I’ve come up with:
Epiphanies are when you emotionally engage with something that you already knew intellectually.
It’s crossing over from knowing that something is true to loving that something is true.
What do you think?
