*Societal Pressure is an everyday experience that comes once we're alive and can walk around both physically with our legs and via our phones assessing and seeing the lives of many on social medias and other platforms (Even though some of the lives exhibited online are fakes or different from what we see in real life per say)* but then, the real pressure comes in when you can visibly see the growths in the lives of your friends.

Over here in Nigeria, most of the youths, myself inclusive suffer from the **societal pressure of poverty, financial poverty I mean.**


Suffering and thinking about a problem all the time  doesn't proffer solution but rather taking appropriate steps towards combating your newly identified problems is what brings you closer to winning those challenges.

Truth is that most persons in life, even those that have money that is enough for themselves still complain a lot of the pressure to add more zeroes to their account and that's why someone who has one million is aspiring to have ten million and someone who has ten million is aspiring to have twenty million and so on and so forth.

***Bending To The Pressure?***

To bend to the pressure currently simply means for me to engage in the various cybercrimes most of my peers are doing because that's the only source of quick wealth available....
 We all wake up to the news everyday to see a boy whose father is yet to make enough money to buy a car suddenly buys a car worth more than what his parents could afford talk more of him that has no paying job  doing and we keep asking ourselves, what's going on?
How come this guy was able to buy this and so on and so forth....

Personally, I don't buy into that ideology so it's not an option for me.

Rather, I will just keep doing the little I can, all thanks to Hive that is providing for me little by little pending when I graduate to also start working and earning salaries to supplement whatever I earn from Hive.

*It's better for me to go through cracking the hard nuts of success in life other than for me to take the easy path and end up losing the peace of my mind.*

Combating these societal Pressures indeed isn't as easy as it looks but one thing that is certain is that one's you're on the right path doing the right thing, you don't really need to keep looking and comparing yourself with anybody.


When you keep comparing yourself with others, you lose track of even the small wins in your life and you keep seeing all you are yet to achieve without seeing the ones you've already achieved.... It finds a way of magnifying the little things left to be done and make it look like big deals, hence, pushing you to do anything even things against your will just to make sure you achieve them which is very bad.

Unhealthy Competition and Comparison does more harm than good, so **once you successfully avoid that and you're on the right path, you'll turn out fine with time..** that's what I tell myself everyday especially whenever the pressure hits me hard.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day
