We all have been concerned with our children and peer pressure but how about family pressure? Most times family pressure can lead us do the right thing but sometimes that pressure can lead us down the wrong path as well. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think too many cousins or parents will lead you down a life of crime (yet the Mafia is a family business) but there more subtle ways there pressure can hurt an individual.
Family Pressure can stop someone in a track they should be on or put them on a track to unhappiness. Families have a tendency to play it safe and that can result in discouraging an individual from taking the needed risk to truly make their mark. In today’s society they can also lead an individual from the values and faith that they are trying to reach as these families follow the values of the Cryus’s instead of the Olsteen’s or Stengel’s. That is why an individual must be able to resist pressure from friends and even family when it leads them down a path away from success and the truth. A strong core values can help them in this resistance.
