I used to have a pretty poor life, now everything is great, im the happiest i've been for a long time but i am a long way from home, and im scared of losing what i have now... Am i being over paranoid or just enjoy it while i can?

It's really a toss up. I can't guarantee accurate information since I don't know the specifics, but it sounds pretty normal to be worried about losing something once you've finally got it. If you know that what you have now is only temporary, then it might be better to prepare yourself for it's eventual loss so you aren't crushed when it does happen but make sure that you don't prepare from something that wouldn't happen anyway. Sometimes if you prepare for failure, that's what you get - like if you go into a relationship, knowing it won't last then it probably won't. Well, I hope you stay happy and try not to over analyze; I'm sure you'll find a way to make things work out!

Instead of gloating for your financial stability, give thanks to whatever higher being you believe in. After that give thanks to ur Mother and Father and whomever else is responsible for busting their asses to give you and ur siblings a better life.
Dont gloat for success, be humble. Not everyone is as lucky as you have been. If this world were filled with success stories like yourself than this world would be paradise. Like I said, Take everything you have and appreciate it to the fullest. Share it with ur loved ones and just think of what ur life would've been if you'd been born in Africa or any poor city in your country.
Remember possessions do not determine who u are, it's ur character and how you treat others that make u the person poeple view you as.
Ur possessions will not go with you once u die, it's an old saying, but man is it true!

My dad always told me to hold life like a butterfly, and I think thts pretty good advice. If you close your hands around it so you sont let it go, you cant look at it, or enjoy it, if you open your hands and leave them open, you get to see it in its beauty. It might decide to fly away, but your open hands will always meand there is a platform for something equally as beautiful to come and rest on....
So I say,........ enjoy it, but don't hold on to it too tightly......... there are more good things in store for you.

A little fear is a good thing. It will keep you cautious and protective of the life you have now. Most of all, you need to feel like you deserve this great life, and you do! Best of luck to you!!

I'm in the same boat... doing very well now. Trust it and enjoy it! It took me about 12 months to let go and realize I'm happy now.

Go ahead and lvie your lfie the way you've always wanted!
But always make sure to think and rethink big decisions regarding money. You don't want to lose it all just because of a small mistake.

Hey, don't worry about it. Just be happy. My motto is, "Life isn't about possessions, it's about being happy!" :)
