That Magical Moment

When chips are down, I often ponder when I will find my mojo or talisman or epiphany. It’s the sudden magical moment, the turning point of life from where things only get better. Like in Lage Raho Munna Bhai when Munna is in a quandary, his friend, Circuit, advises him to go to Gandhi’s memorial; there he finds his mojo when he comes face to face with the man himself. In Hera Pheri when the three friends are down with debts, they find their moment when they receive a phone call. Tom Cruise’s eponymous character has an epiphany in Jerry Maguire that changes his life.

In the past whenever I felt stuck and hopeless, I wished for that defining moment, the turning point of my life. Yesterday night I found that magical moment. It didn’t pop like an epiphany nor did it ring like an ethereal phone call. It had been right under my nose for months, yet I couldn’t realise that it was the unmistakable breakthrough I was looking for. Now it’s time to relax and to let the good times roll.
