Peer pressure
Peer pressure can be a very subtle and insidious process that can creep up on you and put you in a comfort zone/prison of your own making.
The people we choose to hang out with have a huge influence on how we see ourselves so it makes sense to seek out those who support, encourage and inspire us to new heights.
Associate with people you admire, like and respect because that magic will rub off on you.
Don’t settle for second best with friends and think hard about why you’d want to hang around with a negative, pessimistic person instead of positive one. Go on, stretch yourself!
