realizations
Moments of clarity
Realizations are moments of suddenly understanding something: I had a series of realizations about my childhood.
The word also covers the act of making something real or concrete—the realization of a plan, a dream, a vision.
In finance, realization is converting assets to cash: realization of profits.
British spelling: realisations.
