Hey!
I was having
dinner the other night with some of my men’s retreat buddies and something hit me.
It’s all about the “Mojo”! It's about helping each other find and keep our "Mojo".
We shared some things that made me want to cry. I actually did “well up” a little while driving
home.
We talked about stuff that women think we never talk about. Things like how good it feels to be heard and not judged. And stuff like feeling understood and respected.
We talked about how good encouragement feels when another man has our back.
We shared how hard it is to feel supported and accepted when some of the most painful and vulnerable things are going on in our lives and in our hearts.
We talked about “Mojo”.
It’s that feeling that our confidence has poured back into us – the confidence we had before or never quite knew.
It’s that feeling that no matter what, we will deal with the hard stuff like a man and we will do it with love. We KNOW how we want to respond in bad times and good.
We feel capable of holding ourselves to a higher standard and expect more accountability for our thoughts and our goals.
I think every guy in the room clearly remembered what it was like to measure our happiness and well-being by how much others liked us.
We remember how
debilitating it is to our “Mojo” when we believe our masculinity and our value is something validated only by the women in our lives.
It’s emotional stuff. It’s deep. It’s men's work.
We do it one step and one day at a time. No worries. We're work in
progress.
Why did I shed a tear over this?
My own business coach said I should be asking clients specifically why they bothered calling me. And why did they actually hire me as a personal coach?
What they told me touched my heart because I feel the same way about them. I change, grow, and improve with every conversation I have with men.
I’m grateful for having them in my life.
They help me keep my “Mojo” in
tact. And I do the same for them.
I want to do the same for you.
One condition, though.
You must be a man who WANTS to change. You WANT to trust.
And you WANT to get real about what “Mojo” means for you.
I’m open for strategy call over the holidays. If you want to “get through” the holidays first, that’s cool.
But let’s have a “Mojo” chat in January. It's a brand
new year for you.
Happy Holidays to you, brother!
