Good Morning MOJO,

“…and then one day it’s over. All of my life I was focused on how great life was going to be when I finally made it to the top….had the money…got the job title…finally retired…”

Last Sunday morning I was running up at Rancho San Antonio in Los Altos with some of my friends and we ran this loop which we run all of the time…but that day we ran it backwards. So the way down the hill was the way we usually go up. And, as we where running down through the trees by this stream, Dominic said “wow, it is beautiful back in here”. We both laughed, because we had run that same trail probably 100 times before, but almost always going up the hill instead of down. And because when you are going up the hill you’re grinding hard, pushing, breathing heavy and so focused on getting to the top, we never really paid attention to how beautiful it was. We both commented how life is exactly the same as that run…sometimes we are so focused on getting to the top that you don’t take time to appreciate the things and people along the journey. I think the message is pretty simple and clear…right? The key is to find that balance of determination and appreciation.

This group of friends I workout with is great…during our workouts, we talk about this MOJO kind of stuff all of the time and it is amazing how the more we talk about it…the more we focus on it…the more it happens. Find a group of people you can walk with, run with, or whatever with and talk about this kind of MOJO stuff. You will be amazed how it will actually start to work.

Make it a GREAT week and enjoy the journey!!!!
