It was the darkest days of World War II, the Battle of Britain, London was strafed and bombed nightly by Hitler’s Luftwaffe–and the people were so afraid.

But history was about to experience the major, world-changing impact of one individual who saw the possibilities, even in the most desperate of times.

Isaiah Berlin describes Sir Winston Churchill’s ferocious idealization of the British people. In 1940, their stalwart Prime Minister gave them such a strong image to live up to that they began to see themselves as he saw them, “the buoyant and imperturbable temper of Britain[...]”

The irony was that Churchill himself had the lion’s share in creating that image!

FOCUS ON THE POSSIBILITIES

The force of his words was hypnotic; his faith was so strong, that by sheer intensity of his eloquence they were spellbound as he seemed to speak what was in their hearts and minds.

He stirred the greatness that was dormant inside them. The heroic mood that he had awakened turned the fortunes of the Battle of Britain–not by slipping into the depressing mood of his surroundings, but by being imperious to it.

And that’s what we need to do for ourselves, or find a coach, mentor or uplifting community to help us experience it.

Along with imagining yourself at your highest & best, as Winston Churchill did for the British in their darkest hours, and being gentle with yourself if you stumble a bit along the way (2 steps forward, one back–isn’t that the rumba?)…

Here’s the easy acronym for getting your MOJO back:

M–Mobilize the helpful powers, both visible & invisible, which surround and inhabit you always. You can do this through prayer, ritual, meditation, forgiveness, visualization and intention. (Operators are standing by! All you need to do is ASK!)

O–Open your mind & heart to accept your highest good–and remember, you may have NO IDEA what it’s going to look like! One spiritual mentor used to ask, “A Niagara Falls of good is pouring down around you–What’s the size of the receptacle you’re holding out for it? A thimble? A teacup? A cistern? A lake? An ocean? How much good are you willing to accept?”

J–Jump out into the Flow and see where it takes you! Use energy management techniques like breathing, yoga and exercise (earlier, I took a brisk walk in the snow– talk about Mojo!) You’ll get more comfortable with the flow of life. Use intuition and common sense as your rudders.

O–Outshine perceived obstacles–and watch them disappear. Let go of the struggle with shadows and transcend them. Remember, the seeming adversity is really the ally, here to help you learn that particular lesson with love, and move on.
