Peer pressure

Morning readers,

How often are you a victim of peer pressure?

How often are you a perpetrator of peer pressure?

It has been mentioned in an earlier entry that the power of our associations make a huge impact on our habits and ultimately who we are.

Peer pressure is a continuation in the same line as that entry.

The questions we must continously remember to ask and as often as possible are

Who do I spend my time with?

What are they doing to me?

Is that OK?

If we are not willing to practise limited associations with people who are going to pull us away from the better vision we have for ourselves, then we should not complain about not being where we want to be.

Many people strive for increasing the quantity of their friends.

How few worry about the quality!

One good friend who is a positive influence on you is better than 50 whose company sees you corrupting your health, wealth and spirituality.

The good news is that you are able to make the decision to choose your friends more carefully as soon as you want.

As I often do, I will end this post with a quote. This is from Will Smith:

“TOO MANY PEOPLE SPEND MONEY THEY HAVEN'T EARNED TO BUY THINGS THEY DON'T WANT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE.”
