Receiving A Little Help Is Not A Bad Idea
Throughout my life time, i have had a change of perspective from one thing to another. From that other thing i changed my perspective to, I have changed my perspective back to what i use to believe in. Many things have happened in the course of looking for financial freedom (i'm still on my path to financial freedom). I got insults from here and there, many people doubted and are still doubting me, people said i can't do what i set out to do, people say i talk big, and they dont believe i will be able to take big and bold actions, but then, to their greatest surprise, i'm gradually moving towards my goals.
I used to be directly dependent on people for a wide range of things. but everything changed a long time ago when i got insulted by my uncle because of my dependence on him and his wife. As if that was not enough, he didn't want me to become a nurse because he thought that he would be the one to sponsor me. He proposed that i go learn handwork. In his words, "other people are doing road side mechanic, vulcanizer, barber and even sales boy and they are eating well. Don't you think you should do something like that?"
When i came back from his house (i went to spend the holidays there), I told my mom what he said. She was very annoyed at him and she called him on phone and gave him a piece of her mind.
Ever since he made that statement, i decided to cut off from him totally. He was my my best uncle. I even take him as my Idol. I do go to him for advice and other helpful lfe tips. Everything changed when he gave me that advice. Mind you, this man is not a poor man. He is rich.
Since that day, i became withdrawn and too private. I prefer to go solo and solve any problems i have without talking to anyone about it. I felt like i could do it alone. For many years, I did things a lone until a last two or three years. I can't actually remember. I was still a student.
I was owing quite a lot of money. When thought of how to pay back this debt, i couldn't think of anything reasonable. I can't go into illegalities because of my debt. One day, I was laying on the bed, when my girlfriend (my ex now) entered and she saw how sad i was. She knew what was wrong with me, so she proposed something to me. She asked me to call my parents and ask them for some help. After a lot of convincing, I called my parents and talked to them about it. Before i finished ended the call, i saw got an alert. The money she sent was a lot more than the money i requested. I couldn't hold back my joy as i thanked her profusely.
That was when i realized that, no matter how bad somebody is, or how hard things are, even if the world rejects somebody, their parents will always have their back. From here, paid my bills. Other things that happened are stories.
My Ex began to teach me how to seek help from other people which i reluctantly agreed to learn. I'm grateful to her for what she did.
Thank you for reading.
All Images belongs to me
She sounds like a lovely person if she could teach you that so why did you guys break up?
its a long story
The truth about life is that people will always talk both the positive and negative but what is most important is to never change the kind of person you are.
No matter what life throws at us,there will always be someone who would help,we just have to ask and it shall be given.Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes you are right, the same thing happened to me, I stopped depending on people when my immediate brother insulted me too
That your uncle made you grow cold with his words
