Every time I look at those people that depend so much on a substance to do anything it gives me a full picture of how life operates and why people do things they do because they depend on something or people much. In some of my previous posts where I talked about help and I explained why it is not bad to ask for help but mentioned how depending on someone's help is not good and not also bad. You see depending always comes with the expectation to help or save from something which gives room to the things we can not control.
Depending on something makes life difficult for us and it won't let us see behind what we are at that moment and practically set us up for failure because we not growing or evolving we are just there and we might think we are up there but when what we depend on is withdraw it will lead to two things is either failure or success because some people thrive from here while some people lose it all.
It makes you vulnerable.
Nigeria my country has been depending on crude oil for years and this has made us so weak but we look strong to the outside world, especially to some African countries. This is the main reason why the naira has been performing poorly because it can't handle any shocking news or anytime crude oil price drop which makes the economy vulnerable.
Another thing this does is that we won’t be able to help ourselves even when we know need help, no matter the shame we see or the pain we go through we always run back because we are helpless. This simply makes anything we depend on control us and have power over us because we can’t do without it.
Plan well
Total dependence is a tumor that must always be cured quickly because the more it grows the more powerful it becomes and it gives room for so much negativity. Anytime we see ourselves depending totally we must quickly provide alternatives for ourselves and balance anything.
