I once met a guy on the course of evangelism; two of them actually, just that one of them became quite close. He'll come around to ask me about everything there is in the world. I will help him out as much as I could. From Bible understanding to his school works and other issues.
He later spoke to me about a little business he wanted to start, I got inside the house and came out with the exact amount he wanted for the biz. It was one of those good days. Lol. Though I didn't need a refund, but for the sake of accountability, I asked him to return the money as soon as his profit was more than the capital. He agreed without flinching.
He started the the biz. Good thing. His well being improved a bit, you could see it in his dressing and accessories. I was happy for him. Then he started avoiding me. I wasn't worried for the money, I was worried for him, because I had greater plans for him. I'm a resourceful person and I can integrate young stars into my team, so that my progress becomes theirs.
But this guy thought wisdom is in running with a bucket of water, when he could've stayed near the river. He tried eloping with a peanut when he could've stayed with loads of it.
I finally met him, I told him to forget about the money. I only asked him to continue coming around.
I'm trying to make him realize that humans are the real wealth. Meaningful relationships shouldn't be traded for goals, rather goals should be sacrificed for a meaningful relationship.
He is still under my probation though😅. I'm believing perhaps he'd learned his lessons, because the biz crashed, but I still reach out to him with intellectual, moral and material support.
What do you think? Good Relationships and money which should be of higher priority? Lemme know.Â
