I want to start this content with the story of a friend who forgot his humble beginning and the outcome was disastrous, its quite unfortunate.
A friend of mine was struggling with life anxieties for many years, he was born a brought up in a very poor family where everyone have to find their niche so as to survive, and at 14yrs he had already started taking total care of his bills, thats to show you how bad it was, they were 6 in number and he was the 3rd born, at 19yrs he was already out in the street of Lagos sourcing for how to survive.
This early start of struggle made his sufferness last for a long period of time, at some point he traveled out of Nigeria but still life was to hectic so he had to come back, he got a little financial stability only for fire to burn down his house and he lost everything and went back to square one.
At some point he will prepare a smaller pack of indomie and that will be his food for the next two days, he was struggling praying for relief, begging for help it was really tough, one faithful day his prayers where answered.

Relief came.

He got in contact with someone who helped him to get a woman who loves him soo much and was ready to spend on him, this woman changed his life within just a month of them getting to know each other, he got a better apartment and got a very good job that was lucrative, she didn't stop their she got him a known car and made him rich, he was now counting millions unlike before.
He now eats good food and at the time he wants to, everything changed.
Remember that he came from a poor background, his parents have died due to excessive suffering and lack of care, so it was just him and his siblings.
I was expecting him to bring in his siblings and also change their lives because he has meet his turning point and they have been suffering together but the reverse was the case, he decided to turn his siblings to his slave, he mocked and disrespected them and this got them all sad to a point that they all to let him be with his wealth while they continue hustling.
He started making new friends and left his old friends behind, he now goes to night clubs and do somethings he never did all his life, he became so proud that everyone were confused.
Poverty doesn't determine a humble person

He meet his sudden end.

Just one year and some months of him seeing changes he died, what a sad 😭 story, he became sick and didn't care to inform his family members after few days he died and it was deduced that his death was as a result of a get-together he attended with some rich friends, tho we don't have all the facts but the end is that hes dead, his siblings were contacted and they came, buried him sold his properties and went back home, on the day of his buried non of his rich friends came but all those who suffered with him came and said goodbye to his corpse.

Lessons.

Its very important not to be humble only when you are lees privileged because even our creator detests a haughty person.
Always remember the people that stock by you during your difficult days no matter how rich you are because they are important people in your life.
Do not look down on family members, your siblings because blood is thicker than water.
Ultimately do not forget your creator who at some point remembered you and blessed you.
Never forget your humble beginning because it will save your life and make you end well

This story reminds me of someone I know who was struggling and got helped. The contract was that he will be giving the person that helped him to that position of work a 20% of his salary which was bargained at the beginning but after few months this guy got discouraged and with the presence of bad advice, he tried to cut his helpers percentage off and that was how he lost his job (Now back to trenches) I don't know why life have to be this way anyways. This is someone that to have 5K Naira was a big problem and he was earning 400,000 Naira per month. Even if he is giving the man a 20% he will still have more than enough compare to his old life.

Sometimes people can be very ungrateful just like this story you are telling now.

I see a lot of people make mistakes like this by abandoning their old time friendships because they now have big bucks. The phrase they use is that “I have outgrown them”
It’s a very bad mindset to have.

It’s okay to outgrow some friendships especially if they have no impacts in your life.
But outgrowing people because you’ve become rich? That’s a big no.

Be humble at all times, don't let pride eat you up when things start going well.

Thank you for sharing.

Its not good to despise the days of your little beginings. Placing value on people that care about you is priority
