Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has shared a word of wisdom against pressure.
The wife of Jason Njoku, via her Instagram page, noted that when one has some fame or a little money, the world suddenly starts telling them how they should live their life. She noted that people will pressure one to spend beyond one’s means to meet their expectations.
Njoku advised against listening to them, noting that the same people will turn on one when everything goes wrong, and the light goes out. She stressed that one shouldn’t allow anyone to pressure them into performing success instead of building stability.
“When you have some fame and money, the world suddenly starts deciding how you should live your life.
People will pressure you to spend above your means to match their expectations of who they think you should be.
Don’t let them!
The moment anything goes wrong and the light goes off, the same people will turn it back on.
And you will be standing in the darkness alone.
Don’t let people pressure you into performing succes instead of building stability.
Most people don’t actually want control of your life because they love you; they enjoy influencing it while sitting comfortably in their own homes, living however they choose, without your opinion affecting them.
Don’t give up your Real life for their amusement.
Don’t hand them the remote. You don’t know how much time you have left”.
