“I Thought I Was Getting Rich… But I Was Digging My Grave.”

I once met a man who told me the most heartbreaking story I’ve ever heard.

Years ago, he was like many young men — full of dreams, ambition, and a hunger to escape poverty. But dreams can turn dark when desperation takes control. With no job, no support, and mounting pressure to "make it," he chose a path that promised quick wealth: money rituals.

At first, everything changed — fast cars, flashy clothes, respect in the streets. But beneath the surface, he was haunted. The cost of his wealth wasn’t just spiritual — it was emotional, physical, and psychological. His relationships crumbled. His health deteriorated. His nights were filled with fear. He said:

“I thought I was getting rich… but I was digging my own grave.”

This powerful confession came during an emotional moment on the Talk2Cybha Podcast, where the young man broke down in tears as he recalled the pain, regret, and loneliness that came with his choices.

Listeners were moved. Many were shocked. And some saw themselves in his story.

He now shares his past not for sympathy, but as a warning.

Too many young people are falling into the same trap — lured by flashy lifestyles on social media, pressured by society, and tempted by so-called shortcuts to wealth. But every shortcut has a price, and some prices are eternal.

Let this be a wake-up call.

True wealth comes with patience, purpose, and peace of mind. Your struggles today are not your final chapter.

Choose life. Choose integrity. Choose the long road — it’s worth it.
