Epiphanies are life-changing.

They’re a beautiful moment of eureka when you finally put the puzzle pieces of a problem together. The entire world around you stands still as your mind races as at a thousand miles per hour. After all, it’s filled to the brim with endless amounts of inspiration.

But now, I’m completely different. My environment has a big impact on my way of thinking. I adore long periods of deep thought and find massive inspiration in the smallest things.

People regularly comment that my work ethic and overall level of happiness has massively improved. And they’re totally correct. My life is so much better than it used to be. The reason? I’ve trained my brain to have a lot more epiphanies by finding inspiration wherever I look.
