This post is actually @ifioklee inspired owing to a statement he put up on his whatsapp status that ignited the writing spirit in me...ππ
Thank you very much dear for the inspiration; you are loved. πππ
Today's message will be limited to our attitude or reaction to life when two things happen...
our patience when we have nothing and our humility when we have everything.
Before I go on, let me just give a clear definition of the term attitude according to the English dictionary;
Attitude refers to a disposition or state of mind. It could also be in another perspective, the way one carries himself.
There are other ways the word Attitude could be used but for the purpose of this writing, I have limited it to just this two.
Without further ado, I will start with the first part of that statement;
our patience when we have nothing.

I am a strong proponent of the fact that no one can detect the clear and true character of a man who hss nothing. Why? Because at that point, he is dependent on others, he doesn't really have a stand on much since he can't afford it.
With that, he ignores certain things he would have responded to if he had his own. Here, a man's faith is tested because he will always remember his roots and be grateful to those who help him out at this phase of life.
Don't get me wrong, it's just my opinion and I would love to see your own view or idea on it.

Patience is one quality that has to be nurtured and also one quality that is cultivated owing to different circumstances.
That's why, expecting something from someone or anything always makes us exercise it. Life is what we make of it..
So, our patience in life when we have nothing is a greater step to the future but it shouldn't compel us into deception.
The concluding part of that statement is;
our humility when we have everything.

Here, I am also a proponent of the school of thought that putting wealth; be it financial, educational, or other areas of success to individuals in a clear but subtle way gives light of who we truly are.
Most times, our attitude when we had nothing is nothing compared to when we have everything. We tend to be proud and happy for our achievements that we turn a blind eye to other things and won't even recognize being proud as proud.
Others, stop associating with the people they knew in their previous state because they feel they aren't on the same level.
A wise saying has it that;
in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Let's be the change we want and act with others how we would love to be treated.

Always remember that your true nature is known at this circumstances, so try don't to lose sight of the person you are.. Just be you and have no need for pretence.
We are who we are and note that light cannot be hidden. Our true character will always show up.
Am open to all other comments, criticism, suggestion and views.
