It’s never too late

6th February 2015 By Jonelle

When you’re lying awake at night, and the sound of silence fills your room, what do you think about? Do you wish you could be thinner? Do you imagine yourself richer, happier, more successful? We all have those moments. Weakness, when we allow ourselves, just for a second, to let our guard down. To accept that somewhere beneath the facade is a dream. A longing. A desire.

We go through life, on paths we think were planned for us before our time. Thinking we are passive in this world. Forgetting that we have the power to make our own decisions, to choose our own futures. We believe that our stories are etched in stone but it’s never too late. We only have one chance at life but that doesn’t mean we can’t make changes and follow our heart at any given moment.

We don’t have to keep running on the hamster wheel of life. We have the power, right now, to make the decision to be more than what we are. We can be anyone or anything we choose. Let me say that again. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO BE ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE. Only you know what your heart whispers to you late at night, in the darkness when you think that no one is listening. Only you know what your heart truly wants.

You owe it to yourself to listen. Don’t you?

    Moving to the Netherlands I thought was a mistake. I hated this cold country, cold people. After moving from Amsterdam and in this small village I realised the sun is within me. All of sudden the people is friendly and helpful. And glad to say I’m part of a wonderful community where everyone is willing to help out if you only ask.

      Shanita, I really love what you said “the sun is within me”. I think not enough people realise that they are in charge of their own happiness and at any given moment, we can choose to be happy or let go of the things that make us unhappy! Home is where the heart is <3

Hello, I’m Jonelle and this is my story.

Wow! This was a moment. Turning 40 when I almost d Wow! This was a moment.
Turning 40 when I almost didn’t live past 32. 
Grateful for every day of every year since then! 
Life is so precious and life is everything you make it. 

Thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had along the way. Thankful for all the people I’ve met and the leaps I’ve taken! 

Grateful to live where we do. 
Grateful for my family and friends. 
Grateful to live comfortably and never have to worry about being without. Such privilege in a world with so much struggle. 

Thankful for my pets who drive me nuts and love me endlessly. 

I’m looking forward to the next decade. Stepping more into myself and knowing who I am and what my boundaries are. The things I will not tolerate or accept. 

Just grateful for my life. 
The end. #HBD to me!
