Epiphany

Epiphany is often used interchangeable with “insight” ("insert link") or having an “aha moment”. It came from the Greek word, “epiphaneia”, which translates to “appearance” or “manifestation”. Thus, it refers to a moment of realization or experiencing a revealing situation. For instance, a student had his epiphany when he realized that his future profession entails working with children after volunteering to help in a charity program for orphans.
