PEERLE PEER PRE URE
I never met a man that I didnt like (Will Rogers). Well, not sure of anyone else, but Ive met a lot I would have loved to introduce him to. All men are created equal. Whoever believes that just needs to get out more often. There are a few I wouldnt co ider a peer to anything well; maybe whale waste. Its been said a thousand ways, but basically, peer pre ure is su osed to be able to exert a lot of strain on us, regardle of age, and Im very aware Im not unique.
We can blame others if we wish, for that is our normal way of not facing reality...peer pre ure, as with the power of TV, and other i tances, derives all of their strength from our individual minds. We let them control us! How are we going to be different, or make a statement, if we allow ourselves to be a controlled pu et by someone we dont even know?
Barrels of ink have been a lied to all types of parchment on the solution to peer pre ure. Well, yours truly got sick and tired of being susceptible to it, and hauled my ha y self to the library (theyre free). Locating the most elephantine and comprehe ive dictionary I could lay my paws on, I checked it out, hibernated in my basement, and over the next six months, co idered the definitio of thousands of words, cro -referenced them with the worlds largest thesaurus, and finally was able to comprise a se ible sentence that resolved my se itivity to peer pre ure.
Would you believe, so far, it has worked every time, and Im very pleased to share it with you...drum roll, please! TO HELL WITH IT! TO HELL WITH PEER PRE URE! My old English teacher would be highly ha y, Im sure!
In the words of Adlai Steve on, Man does not live by words alone, de ite the fact that he sometimes has to eat them. So, do you believe my little venture to the library? Damned if I know! But either way, Ill evermore cling to my well-earned and beloved words: TO HELL WITH PEER PRE URE!
That resolves that enigma! Now; without allotting precious minutes of our lives to worrying about what our so-called peers think, we can concentrate on improving our selves and then let them worry about good peer pre ure from us. If that, for some reason, doe t work for you, then recall that peer pre ure is nothing but intimidation. At different times in our lives, we all feel intimidated by someone, even though they may not be trying to do so; therefore, once again, yours truly came up with a solution...another drum roll please! When I feel intimidated by someone, I picture them (in my mind) sitting on a throne, with the rearward, lower part of their anatomies corked! You have your own dream and sub-coming to peer pre ure only sto you from attaining yours.... dont do that!
What are your ambitio ? As we are all aware, ambitio are our hopes, wishes, dreams, desires, goals, and a iratio the somewhere ecial we wish to go, the someplaces in particular we desire to see, the somethings unusual we hope to do, and the somebody we a ire to be. We pray, dream, visualize, reflect on, converse about, and rationalize over them sometimes on a daily basis. Why let another divert us from our destiny?
Our compulsio , directio , bearings, education, books we read, places we go, things we do, thoughts, visio , creativene , and all that is us as an individual, is ours, and ours alone. We must be our own person, our own leader ye seek the advice of those we trust, but we are the ones who will live with the decisio .
We live in America we can be any type of person with character we wish, go almost anywhere we want, and do almost anything ... if we are willing to pay the price! Its true, the go el, authentic, factual, electric, verifiable, unimpeachable, genuine, i iring, solid, valid, your life, co tant, the way to go, right on, reality, sterling, cla y sincere, precise, go for it, tantalizing, natural, well-grounded, brave, bold, and downright nothing but the truth! Those who tell us different are full of ...uuuuuh, bea . Do what is right for you! TO HELL WITH PEER PRE URE!
While we are on the subject of peer pre ure; from the very young stages of our lives, to the final curtain, when we pa on to our next time to explore and learn, I will always hold to the conviction we all should have someone we can admire a hero, a model, a paragon to guide and help mold us into the type of person we wish to be.
Personally; I have many of them: my family, Robert E. Lee, General George S. Patton, Albert Ei tein, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Patrick McGoohan, Carl Sagan, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Steven Hawki , and Arnold Swartzenegger they are all folks whom I admire for one reason or another. Naturally, as with all of us, they have (or had) their faults.
The libraries are chuck full of books of such folks, past and present, of all races and ages, who have faced and triumphed over numerous tribulatio of all types, and went on to achieve their goals. Everyone of them have (or had) traits and talents that would i ire almost anyone...audacity, perseverance, top-down thinking confidence in themselves, intelligence, and common-se e to ask others for help and/or advice, setting goals, and other abilities.
However, I believe the main over-riding characteristic was to pay the price for what they wanted to follow their dream! Did they have their share of doubt, loneline , feeling no one cared, hardshi , etc.? Of course, but they kept on going-not allowing anyone or anything to burst their bu le ---they never gave up! And while we are on the subject of parago , have you ever co idered being one? Why not? We live in America you can be any type of person you desire.
