djseanjohn77: 9 years ago, leaving my wife and boy, my job, my house was daunting - 6 months later, no job still, paying rent through Nigeria (receiving money from home). It was difficult, food preference, weather, communication, no family, no friends...I thought of going back - Then i got a job, it could only service my rent (shared apartments with4-5 others, food, transport, and money for family upkeep. For the next 5 years it was the same condition, no savings. Things started looking up and good9in the 6th year then was without job during the recession of 2017/18..for 1 year. Things got back to better in 2019, i could save, could start planning life. Today, i bless God for His favour, mercy and grace (I can afford to pay extra house sef - Been independently living all by myself in about 3+ years now, can buy whatever i feel like - Not where i should be, but my growth has been steady and consistent, reached Manager level at work, but pay i negotiated is far lower than what my mates get, plus you are black so). I am better than I was. The journey was not easy, many could not deal with it, many relocated, many dipped their hands in dirty shit and are in jail. What i did was be more devoted to God, intentional about worshipping God privately, and following His commandments....And my story was turned. This is what worked for me. (besides, I am a sustainability specialist.) How about your family back home? |
