We all do.<\/p>\n<p>So, because it&#8217;s national &#8220;R U OK?&#8221; day here in Australia, I went through my contact list this morning looking for discontented friends who might need a call today. Luckily, I couldn&#8217;t find anyone needing my help! So I thought I&#8217;d try to help you instead \u2013 with the simple 3-step process that helped me find my own life-mojo&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>All* you have to do is ask yourself three questions (*yes, I know this can be harder than it looks):<\/p>\n<h3>1. What is it that my life is missing?<\/h3>\n<p>This could be the right life partner, the ability to put the past to rest, confidence in yourself, or a general sense of harmony between you and the world. Whatever it is, it&#8217;s so important to know what you&#8217;re fighting for it&#8217;s worth spending as much time as you need to identify it.<\/p>\n<h3>2. What am I currently doing to find and fit that missing piece of the puzzle into my life?<\/h3>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;re doing something \u2013 because if you&#8217;re not, you&#8217;re doing nothing! Life is what you make of it, so reach out and battle through \u2013 don&#8217;t give up. Your life-mojo could be just around the corner!<\/p>\n<h3>3. What else could I do?<\/h3>\n<p>So you&#8217;re trying \u2013 but the steps you&#8217;re currently taking towards happiness possibly aren&#8217;t working. It&#8217;s time to try something new! Brainstorm with a friend, or a stranger, and formulate a plan. <a title=\"Messages\" href=\"http:\/\/zenashapter.com\/messages\/\">Message me<\/a> your phone number if you like and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I&#8217;ll brainstorm with you<\/span>. I&#8217;ve been there, done it, bought the t-shirt, then burnt it and danced around the flames.
