Why does your Mojo fail?
First of all, let's define Mojo as in Wikipedia
Mojo (African-American culture), a magical charm bag used in voodoo
Well that's not quite what we wanted so let's go to the English dictionary
a quality that attracts people to you and makes you successful and full of energy:
So now we have a magic charm bag to make you successful and drive you forward.
In addition, it is really what gets your day going as you dive out of bed pumping your fist in the air screaming “I am the greatest”.
If that is not you then let's delve into the deep end
The life forces create never-ending stress impacts on our daily lives. Home problems. social problems, money concerns, health issues, maybe declining libido and even drug and alcohol use.
Thrown together they form a barrier to any happy pursuit and like an anchor dragging us down to the depths.
If you are screaming “this is too hard” let's try and find a way out of the depths that will bring you back to the top of your game.
In addition a reminder I'm not qualified to give advice other than from the life lessons I have got through over many years. We all have down days the difference is what we do with them.
You choose how you feel
I know this is a hard concept to encompass however I truly believe we are in control of our emotions. I recently disagreed with my wife, this left me feeling down and thinking of all the things I should have said and how I was wronged in the conversation. It happens to us in lots of situations.
However, after brooding on the issue for some time, carrying it around with me like sandbags tied to my shoulders I decided it was simply not worth the effort. I may win an argument but never the war so I said to myself, “get over it and move on” ” file it away and move your energy to something constructive”
The brooding stopped and my energy returned as I put myself where I choose to win.
Living with a passion
We all need something to turn our minds to when we stray into depression territory.
We can have a hobby, use music, Play video games or any number of energy sources. I go for long hikes and listen to good radio to move my spirits forward.
I also invest in the Crypto market learning every day how I can convert my small investment into big dollars. This takes the mind to a new place and any small win makes the day.
Therefore find your passion spot, somewhere to hide when you need to refocus your energies away from the problems of the world.
The areas not to go
Let's face it drugs and alcohol only exaggerate the issues. I am a regular drinker however a never binger because of the after-effects that are hard to come back from.
I see so many young people just destroying the whole day seeking a cheap high to satisfy the escape mechanism.
The zombie zone and a later hangover achieved nothing but to give time of avoiding the issues that needed to be resolved.
Imagine what could be done in that wasted time to make your life better and secure your future prosperity.
Build your mojo and drive success in business by finding your destination.
Finding the right outlets
I have a very busy schedule, Run a small business, write a blog every day, invest in wealth creation maintain a five Klms walk every day and survive with a wife, five kids and a dozen grandchildren and I am well past retirement age, in fact knocking on the door of eighty.
I try to walk the talk and achieve as much as I can in all the areas of life, I don't allow time for
morbid meanderings and neither should you.
You need a passion, something you want to achieve, and failing is not an option. furthermore, it should be something that makes your future look a bit brighter in comfort, income or lifestyle. Sorry, video games achieve very little other than a distraction from reality.
The late Steve Jobs said; ” live every day as if it is your last because one day you will be right.”
He also went on to say that to be successful you need to be unsatisfied. He finished with “stay hungry stay foolish” as a driving force of his life.
At the time no one did it better than Jobs, the apple computer, the iPhone, Pixar was all world's leading products from a man that failed college.
So if you think you can't you are probably right. Change your thinking.
Visualize your future
Where do you want to be? What will give you the edge to take you beyond tomorrow when you find that, you will find success. Success is never instant. The lottery does not come to those that wait because you have to buy a ticket.
See your future self and like what you see. Aim to be that person you most admire and set a plan to achieve it.
You have limited time on the planet so make the most of every day and most of all:
Don't sweat the small stuff!
Live the big stuff!
Develop a Mantra
A daily mantra of inspiration will remind the inner you of the journey ahead. It will jolt you back to reality when things go topsy, which of course, they always do.
Tell yourself out loud what you are going to achieve and believe in yourself with consistent and repeated verbalisation of your goals. No one else will tell you, so you have the job to do so don't fail yourself.
It may sound corny however a mantra and a vision board helps you concentrate on the goal ahead.
Use your new lessons in your business
A confident and inspired person will bring all others with them. Energy is viral. It attaches to those around you helps their self-confidence and drives them to achieve their goals.
Everyone loves a winner, and by being sure of yourself and the journey you undertake you will drag even the slowest believers along with you.
I am sure you have someone you admire, someone you would like to emulate in life therefore be that someone for others. There is room for all.
Build your mojo and drive success in business with help if needed.
Get help if all else fails
Sometimes nothing will work. It may come from a physical or mental disability where the mind simply won't be reset. However, never use it as an excuse. Jobs, Richard Branson, and many others are autistic, it did not stop them. Elon Musk has a mental condition but hey it must help him because he is our modern-day hero.
Sometimes prescribed medicines are necessary to help keep your equilibrium in line and that is fine however don't use them as a crutch.
My Mojo conclusion
Elon Musk is probably the smartest guy in the room at the moment, from nothing to great wealth over a few short years however the driver has never been money.
He won't change for the world. Electric cars to stop pollution, Solar world to stop global warming, and space exploration to advance mankind. You may knock Elon but he has done it and done it well.
He is populating the low earth space with orbiting satellites to provide fast internet to everywhere on the planet. Internet is the cornerstone of development and progress even in the poorest countries, Musk has a goal of making that happen.
He may be focused on Mars as the ultimate destination but he is building it with the hope of changing our world for the better.
I love inspiration from those that achieve the most and I want to be just like them. I am not happy with normalcy I thrive to be different and to achieve where others fear to go.
You can make a difference in your life, stay hungry and stay foolish
