Stop exposing yourself to danger

This topic has been on my mind and it's a very serious one,when my dad was still alive he will tell us not to go to his family house, like till now we never knew his family house,there was a day I was suppose to know the place he didn't park his car close to the environment,he parked it far from that environment and I couldn't figure out the place because he told us not to follow him,in his opinion my dad would say going to the family house with your immediate family will only expose us to danger and letting them know that you have achieved somethings will cut your life short.

Okay my dad told us the story of his dad,that was our grandfather,he said they were born in ibadan,and they grew up there,he said while growing up they were rich,his father had a lot of things,even his friends were rich, grandfather like to show everything to his family,he is not a secretive person when it comes to his family,after building his house to lintel he wanted to fix his roofings,as big as ibadan is,he didn't call anyone for his roofings,then he went to his home town to call someone as soon as the person got to ibadan and saw the big house he was amazed that was said how did my grandfather become so rich,then he went home to tell the people back home about what he saw and that was how everything went down,two weeks after that the government came to give my grandfather a notice that they will bulldoze the house because that place is a road,it's so funny that the government never told him before that that place is meant to be a road but all of a sudden they said that and after a week they came to bulldoze the house, my grandfather was back to square one, like literally everything went down,he had to come back to his home town,if he had known he wouldn't have come back to his home town,he would have started all over again in ibadan,when he got home again he laid the foundation for another house but he called them again and they came to see the house he wants to build,he couldn't finish the house easily,he finished just one house in 20years.

Like everything went wrong for him,he couldn't afford things he would afford before,so my dad told us alot and we were surprised to know all those things. Then we vowed never to involve family members in our dealings because it will only bring problem.

Exposing yourself to people or making people know you have achieved somethings will only make you expose your life to danger,or your family life to danger, alot of people who you think loves you actually detest you,you can't be so sure someone is all out for you,try to keep yourself or your achievement to yourself,it is better to hide this things than let people know and cut short that glorious destiny. Humans will always be humans,the Bible says the heart of men is desperately wicked,who can know it? Definitely no one can know it, it's only God that know our heart and desires,it's only God that knows who wants the best for you,you can't know with just the words of their mouth.

Keep those things to yourself .
