Mo Magic Weekly — Issue #9: Still Showing Up (When Nobody’s Watching)

Hey friends 👋,

There’s a kind of progress nobody claps for.

It doesn’t trend.
It doesn’t go viral.
And most people never notice it happening at all.

But it’s the kind that actually changes your life.

This week is about showing up anyway — even when nobody’s watching.

I’ve had 100% attendance in school for six straight years.

Through COVID.
Through instability.
Through exhaustion.
Through moments when quitting would’ve been easier to explain than continuing.

I’m also almost never late for work — and I don’t even have a car.
A couple of 15-minute delays over five-plus years because of the bus?
That’s life — not a lack of discipline.

That level of consistency isn’t talent.
It’s structure.
It’s commitment.
It’s deciding once — and then honoring the decision every day after.

Long after the motivation wears off.

Most of the growth in my life didn’t happen because I felt inspired.
It happened because I showed up when I didn’t.

🎥 Break Time with Mo Magic
Floating a rose during a break — a small moment of wonder.

The other night on break, I floated a rose.

Nothing fancy.
No crowd.
No camera crew.

Just one tired moment… and a choice to still bring a little wonder into the room.

Magic works the same way life does.

People only see the finished moment.
They don’t see the repetition, the fatigue, or the discipline behind it.

But that’s where the real work happens.

I’m helping someone this week who’s feeling the pressure of the economy and wondering how much longer she can hold on — and I recognize that feeling.

So I’m building her site the same way I’ve built everything else:

carefully
honestly
without rushing

I’ve learned the hard way that fast doesn’t last.

Strong foundations do.

Silver has been moving lately — and yeah, people are suddenly paying attention.

But what matters to me isn’t the spike.

It’s how long it stayed ignored before that.

Silver rewards:
🧱 patience
⏳ consistency
🤫 silence
📏 discipline

You don’t buy it because it’s exciting.
You hold it because you understand time.

Same mindset.
Different arena.

Quiet things don’t stay quiet forever.

New Haven has taught me that progress doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

People here still catch buses in the cold.
Still clock in for long shifts.
Still help each other quietly.

I’ve written parts of this newsletter after walking home tired, watching lights flick on in apartment windows — reminders that everyone’s carrying something.

This city doesn’t pretend things are easy.
It just keeps moving.

There’s discipline in that.
And a kind of beauty you only notice if you slow down long enough to see it.

“Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.” — Luke 16:10

Faith isn’t proven on the mountaintop.

It’s proven in attendance.
In punctuality.
In discipline.
In staying.

Especially when nobody’s watching.

This week I’m not trying to impress anyone.

I’m choosing to:
✔️ show up
✔️ do the work
✔️ stay consistent
✔️ trust the process

If you’re doing the same — even quietly — you’re not behind.

You’re building something real.

Thanks for reading.
Thanks for staying.
And thanks for showing up — even when it’s boring.

Share this with someone who’s doing the work quietly.

If you know someone who keeps showing up — to work, to school, or to rebuilding — feel free to forward this.

Sometimes encouragement travels best through someone we trust.

Stay faithful. Stay steady. In Jesus’ name.
