Up to Me - Jodi ChapmanI sometimes hear people say that they can’t change their thinking or their mindset or their beliefs or the way they view the world.

They say that it’s just too late. They feel that they’re just stuck with this way of living and way of being, and they’ll just live with it.

When I hear this, I have to disagree. I don’t ever think it’s too late.

I believe that if we created one mindset, we can shift into another. I believe that if we have one view of how things are, than we can also have another. I believe that it’s never too late to create the life that we would rather be living.

If you’re feeling beaten down right now or are in despair and feel like it’s too late for you to change the trajectory of your life, please know that the following words are going straight from my heart to yours:

 

I know it’s not too late for you because you’re still breathing. 

If you’re breathing, there is hope. If you’re breathing, there is life. If you’re breathing, there is the chance to change, to move, to grow, to experience, to embrace.

 

I know it’s not too late for you because you’re still seeking. 

If you’re seeking, your soul is still in charge. If you’re seeking, your heart is leading the way. If you’re seeking, your faith is pushing you toward a new life that’s filled with love and joy.

 

I know that it’s not too late for you because you’re open. 

If you’re open, you will allow the possibility of what might be into your heart. You’ll allow it to run through your veins and flow through your entire body. You’ll allow hope to soak up your fear, and you’ll allow yourself to step into the light once again. I know it.

 

I know that it’s not too late for you because you’re here. 

If you’re here, reading this post and filling your soul with inspiration, it’s definitely not too late. A part of you wants to soar, live differently, feel happy. I know it. And I know it’s not too late because you are choosing to be here, and you’re staying.

 

I know that it’s not too late.

There’s always light at the end of a tunnel. There’s always love on the other side of fear. There’s always a way through the darkness. There’s always a path that leads to hope and joy and happiness and connection and faith. Always.

 

It all starts with believing that it’s not too late. 

You’re not too worn down or too old or too overwhelmed or too sad or too afraid or too angry or too anything. You’re not.

 

You’re here. You’re open. You’re seeking. And you’re breathing. 

That’s enough. That’s more than enough. 

 

You have everything you need to embrace your life, to love your life, to find the excitement in your life, and to fill your life with life.

You do.

 

It’s definitely not too late.

You have so much time. So many seconds. So many moments. So many laughs. So many joys. So many connections. So many heart-opening, soul-stirring experiences to enjoy.

It’s never too late to live the life you were meant to live. You can start embracing it right now in this very moment. I think that’s pretty amazing.

 

Hugs,

Jodi
