“Forever begins just because I thought about it” Forever Begins – Common

I have a question for you today, are you living? Silly question? No, not really. There are some people who would tell you they are surviving. You know who I am writing of. Those who complain about everything… “Girl, I’m just making it…” or “God willing, I make it to such and such…” I hate to sound cold-hearted but am I the only one who wants to shout GET OVER IT?!!!

Does that make me compassion-less? Face it, we ALL go through it at one time or another, but I choose not to indulge in the negativity of it. Does that mean I do not have my breaking points? Of course not! Trust me; I give myself two minutes to drive down Frustrated Boulevard. But after a minute and thirty seconds, I put the car in reverse, make a U-turn, and turn right onto Greatness Lane.

What am I saying? I am saying life is what you make it. I could choose to bask in the disappointing events of my life, but what would it change? Entertaining the otherness does not help me to prepare for the next step of my life. It only keeps my in a rut of bitterness and that is no place I desire to be! So, I choose to release it.

Forever begins… When will your forever begin? Will it begin when you take your last breath? Or, will it begin now? It is your choice. I choose for my forever to begin now. “Why?” Why not? I am not helpless. My Father has promised to give me the desires of my heart. What has yours promised? Must I wait for those desires to manifest before I bask in His Glory? Of course not! That would mean I am moved by earthly things. Am I? Nope! I am moved by my Father. Every day I make a choice to praise Him for Who He is. Every day I choose to thank Him for where I have been, where I am, and where I am to go. Every day I choose to live.
