A guide to life

Posted on by philipdodson

The past is exactly that, the past, it no longer exists except for the image and memory associated with that image inside our heads.

Simply because an outcome happened in a particular way a week ago, a month ago, or 5 years ago, does not mean that is what will happen now.

It may happen the same way if we listen to the mind and allow it to control our thoughts, emotions, reactions and actions. If we allow things to be, act according to the situation now and use our mind creatively instead of it possessing us destructively using the past as the only guide, then the outcome will be what will be now not what happened before.

The past is not the guide to what you will do or achieve now. Now is the moment and our focus on that is what matters.

Our mojo

Posted on by philipdodson

We all have that spirit, that something in us, impossible to describe, something magical, our own spark.

Mojo is a great word for it.

At times in life it’s on a high and our mojo is on fire and other times we lose it, our mojo is gone.

Like most things, when we don’t have them we focus on it and try too hard to get them. Nearly always resulting in the opposite of what we crave happening.

Once we relax, once we go with the flow, allow life to guide us, something always comes along. Not by magic, but by the simple fact that we have removed the pressure and negativity of trying to force something to happen.

So, when we lose our mojo, relax it hasn’t really gone anywhere, it will come back the moment we let go. Our spark needs something to ignite it and that has to come with the flow of life and when we are at peace.
