When was your 'Eureka' moment?

Eureka! From Archimedes stepping into the bath, to finally understanding that math conundrum at school, to finally working out what you want to do with your life. We have all experienced that Eureka moment at some time or other. To each and everyone of us, it was a profound moment that might have changed our day or even our lives, but affected us as individuals and probably those around us too. It may have been as a result of an external situation that you may have had to accept or one that you were in control of and managed accordingly. So why not share that moment and it may help others to understand there Eureka moment too. Mine? well that was when I realised that the path my career was going to head down was not the one I wanted and I wrestled with the decision to break out on my own. The 'Eureka' moment was walking on a beach at sunset when everything became clear and I knew then, that the path I was about to take was the right one. Eureka!
