As a leader, have you ever experienced times in your business where things were unfolding with ease; life seemed to be humming along just great¦when suddenly and without warning, your good fortune came to a screeching halt and you found yourself feeling stuck and stagnant?
So what do you do when you realize that you've lost your mojo? How do you get it back?
Remember, every situation is an opportunity to hold an internal conversation of possibility REGARDLESS of the current circumstance is that you find yourself in.
The key is to keep your attitude from being shaped by your circumstances and instead to be determined by YOU REGARDLESS of external factors.
James Allen, the author of "As a Man Thinketh", has a wonderful quote in his book...it states, circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.
On the opposite side of every challenge lies the opportunity for huge breakthroughs and even greater growth as the authors of our own lives.
When we hold a future that is grim, it often follows and we become resigned, unmotivated, and stuck in thinking that nothing will really make a difference.
Conversely, it is when we hold a future of possibility that is exciting to us and we allow our feelings and emotions to be there without resisting them that we naturally transform back to motivated action regain flow and our mojo.
This is true power.

*** The 1 thing that is holding you back
I've come to realize that the situations that challenge me the most as a leader and business owner are the ones that bring up a lot of emotions for me. Immediately my internal dialogue kicks in. In the moment it seems like my internal dialogue is simply reporting the truth about my situation or the person I'm upset with. And before I'm aware of it I get caught up in my inner commentary and self-made internal reality and forget that it's simply an internal conversation that I've created about my situation.

It's A Dog's Life
As I travel through my life, I have often noticed that dogs have some interesting effects on people. In the presence of a dog, even the gruffest, most hardened human beings can become soft and caring. I also notice that in the past few decades, more and more people are adopting dogs than ever before. In fact, I believe it safe to say that human beings harbour much more generalized affection for the entire canine species than they do for the human race.
