Peer Pressure-A Powerful Force

Peer pressure….much is said about it but what makes it so powerful. Very often we think of peer pressure as being around people who would like us to do things as they would do, even when it is not part of who we are.

Peer pressure more often than not is not direct. It is an especially powerful force because it is subtle.

If you're around people who believe that it is good to spend all you make, then you have increased the odds exponentially that you will spend all you make. If you are around people who go to more parties than concerts, the chances are excellent that you'll do the same thing. And, if you are around people who don't read, chances are excellent that you won't read.

Yes, peer pressure is subtle. It’s like the fog, as poet Robert Frost once said that, “creeps in on little cat feet.” Suddenly it has enveloped you and you lose your perspective. You cannot see things clearly.

Understanding the power of peer pressure is essential to lead a good life. People, many with good intentions can keep nudging us off course a little at a time until finally, we find ourselves asking, "What happened?" or “How did I arrive at these circumstances?”

Be aware of the subtle influences of peer pressure. Be a keen observer and when you are your life is much more likely to turn out the way you planned.

On what course is peer pressure taking you?
