Are You Living The Life You Are Meant To Live?

Hello Your World Within Community!

This morning I’d like to start with a question: Do you ever feel like you are living the life that is expected of you, and not the life that you are truly meant to live?

It’s a feeling that resonates with so many of us, and I want to delve into some ideas and thoughts on how you can shift your perspective and start writing or rewriting your own story. 

George Elliot once said something that stuck with me, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”  Take a moment and let that sink in. It’s a reminder that the power to shape our destinies lies within us. 

Think about the stories you tell yourself every day. The narratives that shape your reality when you look in the mirror. Are they empowering you, lifting you up, and propelling you forward? Or are they holding you back, confining you to a version of yourself that no longer fits? 

This topic is important to me because I’ve lived it. I clearly remember the days I felt stuck in a job I didn’t like, trudging through the same routine day in and day out. I’d joke with a friend during our daily commute, wishing for a flat tire just to escape the monotony of it all. But looking back, I realize how disempowering it was to let external circumstances dictate my path because I didn’t have the courage to change.

It all boiled down to a story I told myself every day—this is what I was supposed to do, it didn’t matter if I liked it. That was the narrative played on loop in my mind, and so, I followed its script.  

But here’s the thing—no one was forcing me to stay there. I wasn’t stuck, and neither are you. You are the author of your narrative and that means YOU have the power to break free from the stories that confine you, to build a life that aligns with your true self. 

Just because you’ve done something in the past doesn't mean it defines who you are. It’s time to flip the script and challenge the narratives that you’ve been living by. When you start unpacking this idea, you quickly realize how many areas of your life are governed by limiting beliefs. Why settle for what’s familiar when you could aspire to so much more? 

Don’t just sit back and hope for things to change. It’s not about expecting magic—it’s about practicality, recognizing your worth, and deciding what you deserve. 

Be mindful of the boundaries you draw around yourself. Remember you’re only stuck if you believe you are, and you’re only free if you believe you are. What you believe shapes your reality. 

And the best part—everything is a story and any story can be changed or rewritten. There’s no rule that a chapter must echo the one before it. Challenge yourself to take control of your narrative today and witness the transformation of your reality. 

Here’s to a week of embracing the stories that empower you and living a life true to yourself.

Continue to live inspired,
