Peer Pressure
There are certain times of life where we may feel more pressured by those around us to act or live in certain ways that may conflict with our inner sense of what's right, or what's right for
us. What makes this even more complicated is when we ourselves are uncertain about what our values or beliefs are.
Part of growing up means learning what's most important to us, what we believe, and how we want to move through the world. Not because someone else thinks we should be or act in some particular
way.
So it's important to pay attention to the inner voice that is starting to emerge, which may be telling us what's right for us. Someone who tries to persuade us to do something that goes against
our better judgment may not be worth the effort to maintain their good opinion of us.
