MOJO refers to experiencing both happiness and meaning in one's activities while effectively communicating this to others. MOJO is impacted by four factors: identity, achievement, reputation, and acceptance. The document provides strategies for improving each factor, such as establishing personal criteria, focusing on small achievements, managing one's reputation, and learning when to accept situations and let go.
