Absent For The Struggle, Present For The Blessing

Success is nothing without someone to share it with. Therein lies the problem, the person showing interest in you is with you because you're doing well for yourself but take away the fame & fortune, also the perks and watch those so-called friends and your so-called s/o scatter like roaches. Everybody should want someone who has drive but don't check for somebody who's already made it just so you can get half of everything THEY slaved for when you weren't there during the struggle. Some men and women are good for that, absent for the struggle but want to share in the blessings. She wants to commandeer the ship when she didn't help build the ark.  Not long ago,  I came across a Facebook status that went something to this effect: A husband & wife are married and the husband has a successful business that the wife helped build. Should she get half if they divorce? My response was that if she helped him become successful in his business, yes she deserves half. She played a part in his blessing so by right, he should give her half. If he was already established in his business and she came on board asking for half, then she shouldn't get one dime. If you have someone that has been with you since Day 1, you keep that person on your team because it's hard to find REAL friends. Everybody's checking for you when the bottles are popping and everything's sweet, but when you hit a rough patch that's when you find out who your true friends are. It's amazing that people can be THAT flaw to ignore you when you're struggling but when you become successful, they flock to you like nothing happened. This is why successful people should keep their circle small because not everyone who comes into your life is for you. I know where I'm going in life and each day I pray that God will put the right people in my life to help me reach my dream(s). Having the right people in my corner ensures they aren't there for celebration, but they truly want to see me shine. THOSE are the people I cherish and will keep on my team. A successful future is in the works and I'm so close to making it, I can taste it. In making it, I will watch the people in my corner. You have to because there are wolves in sheep's clothing.
