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.

Clinging on by a fingernail

Sometimes in life, we can get pushed back towards the edge of the precipice and we keep stepping back. It becomes a habit and our energy gets drained. It becomes a spiral.

We get to the edge and we think ‘that’s it’ and we slip over the edge and into the ‘abyss’ we go.

However, we manage to grab the edge and cling on by a fingernail.

Life has its tough moments and we feel like there is no option sometimes and the urge is to let go and give in.

Often though this very moment is where we find the something, that will, an urge to fight.

Some of the most magical, greatest and fulfilling moments and creations that people have enjoyed have come from these moments of hardship and sometimes despair.

It is the true test of our commitment to realise our dreams and ambitions.

The easy option and long-term far less rewarding or meaningful is to keep letting go and giving in at tough moments.

Cling on and rise strong from our falls.
