Acting Brand New

It's funny how some people forget their struggle, once they get on top. You know what I'm talking about: A person gets their breakthrough, and they start acting brand new. Their demeanor changes from their clothes to self-esteem. There's an old-saying that goes "Never forget where you come from". Simply put, don't let success change you. So many people forget they weren't always on top, so why are you going to act like you're all that? It's stupid. It's shameful that some people don't know how to handle success. They forget who supported them when no one would give them a shot. Like the Bible says, pride goes before a fall. Be careful how you treat people because on your way down, you'll need some of those same people. Life has a way of flipping the script where you struggle, and others prosper. Some of these celebrities are good for this. Many of them came from nothing, and had to work hard for their success. Once they got big, here come the big mansion, luxury car(s), fine dining, etc. I'm not saying you should be ashamed of being blessed; quite the contrary. You're supposed to look like God did something for you. If someone has a problem with you being blessed, they can take it up with the Lord. At the same time, remain humble. When you're humble, God can bless you with more because he knows you can handle it. He knows you won't act brand new. If you're wondering why God doesn't bless you any more than he has, maybe it's because you can't handle the blessing. God doesn't bless someone if he knows they can't handle it.
