Make Your Choice

"Beggars are not choosers"

I heard over this line while I was working today, not that I eavesdropped their conversation, but because she said that line loudly. Very very very loud. BUT! I'm happy I heard that line, because it is SO TRUE! That line got me thinking (yes, I've been thinking a lot lately, and I don't think it will stop anytime soon), beggars do not have a privilege to choose.

Why?

Because they have made up their choice! They chose whatever they are begging for! They have chose their choices for life! Job, place to live, partners, family, business, anything! They have set up what they want and chase it. Which wasn't a bad thing. The bad thing is when you have decided what you want and you don't want anything else, so when you didn't get what you wanted, you 'begged' for it. Keep begging the certain company to hire you for a certain position, keep begging for your ex to take you back, keep begging your landlord to let you stay, you begged so you'll get what you wanted.

The thing is, when you beg for something you wanted so bad, you missed out ALL the choices you might have! If you take a good look on beggars, they live they life with begging for other's generosity to give them money to survive. I mean, seriously! Do they ever think about what they've been missing when they spend their lives on begging? It's not like they don't have any choice. They could be a driver or a house servant or anything better than being a beggar!

NEVER! EVER! close your eyes on the options you might have in your life just because you want it less than something else. Life is full of surprise! You never know what life could bring to you. Like my silly "accident" in the emergency exit? Even it wasn't exactly an opportunity to do anything, but life is awesome! It is great! It is full of surprise!! So stop begging for something that wasn't yours and open up for more exciting choices in front of you. It might be a little bit hard to see those great opportunities now, but trust me, God never gives you something less than you deserve.

You couldn't get a job in your favorite company? Who knows you'll get a better position in another company with a better career path? Or earn more money?

You couldn't go to your favorite university? Who knows you'll get scholarship in another university?

You couldn't be with someone you love? Who know Prince Harry might fall for you? (okay, that's too much, I'd prefer Ryan Reynolds though :p )

But you get what I mean right?

By not getting what you want, doesn't mean that you'll be a lot less happier in the long run (you might be for a while, I know, I've been there), but you'll understand why you didn't get what you wanted later on, eventually.

Here's my point;

No one - I repeat - NO ONE becomes a 'beggar' by fate,

They become one by choice,

God created us NOT to be a follower, but to be a leader! and it is UP TO YOU to be what you wanna be, and to choose what you wanna do.

Never blame God for your conditions.

Never say that you have no choice because YOU DO!!

So GET UP! and make yourself a 'chooser', not a 'beggar'.
