Got My Mojo Back!
Following a few years where I really lost my way, the last couple of months I really feel like I’ve got my Mojo back!
I’ve talked to Mrs Levee about this, and we both feel the same way. Elevated, lighthearted, happy. Life is great: we’re getting things done, designing websites with relative ease, selling stuff on eBay for a tidy profit, engaging with the kids, keeping up with the household chores and more!
A few years ago, things were completely different. I hated the firm I work for, hated the job I did. There never seemed to be enough time to do everything I wanted to do. And money. Never enough money.
Even if we got a babysitting offer, we couldn’t actually afford to go out. We’d stay in with a video.
How were we going to decorate our house? How would we be able to run two cars? What about clothes, food, incidental expenses? The list was bloody endless, believe me.
Recently though, possibly since we discovered we were expecting our third child, our outlook has changed. We’re not doing anything different that we can see. It just feels different. Almost everything is a joy at the moment. Websites, eBay, nappies, Spanish classes, work, children, wife and me - all clicking, all working together.
All I know is I feel brilliant at the moment. I spent two hours at a Spanish class last night and drove away with a huge grin on my face. Just happy to be with other people and having fun.
When I got back to the house Mrs Levee and I talked about it. Why is everything so good at the moment? Will it last? Where did the good vibes come from? All we can say is that our outlook has changed. For one thing, we’re no longer money-driven. We’re trying to experience life - not just muster through. We’re taking time to enjoy life, but bizarrely, we’re achieving much more.
If the business takes off, we’re not hoping to become rich beyond our wildest dreams - we’d both settle for me being able to run the business from home and be financially secure. Time together, and with the kids is the most important thing right now.
More and more recently, I’ve found myself walking around with that grin, like I’m ten feet tall! The Mojo is back. Long may it last!
