Finding your Mojo

In order to find your Mojo, you must first understand what mojo is. “Mojo is about the moment—and how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it.”

Four factors in finding our mojo:

1. 1)  Who do you think you are (identity)
   
2. 2)  Who do other people think you are (reputation)
   
3. 3)  What have you done lately (achievement)
   
4. 4)  What can you change (acceptance)
   

It doesn’t really matter who you think you are. In life, people will always remember how you make them feel more than what you say. So you must first identify what it is that other people feel and think about you. Only then can you take the necessary steps to change and become the person you think you are. If you feel like a manager, ask yourself, do your peers see you as a manager? If not, then what do you need to change to become a manager to them. What have you done lately? What have you accomplished? Once your actions and reputation are that of a manager, then your peers will see you as the manager you see yourself as.

So go find your mojo. Take the steps necessary to create the reality you want. Remember, you are in control of your future.
