Five Very Powerful Obsessions of Young People

Hello friends, Seth here! It’s good to have you back on my blog.

Today, I’d like to write about some very powerful emotional attractions of most young people. As a youngster myself, I get entangled sometimes and although I know it’s normal for us to feel so much emotions, I think it’s rather unhealthy to be obsessed by them.

So my list will be precise and articulate as usual based on my observations and interactions with other youngsters.

On a daily basis, I see these obsessions in display, on most people, I think it’s rather unhealthy than normal, so I felt to write about just a few of them, hopefuly you’d find the one you need to continue to strive for or the one you need to totqlly get rid of completely.

So in no particular order, let’s begin:

1. Fitness

The need to keep fit and remain in shape has ranked high among the many needs of young people today. No one needs more calories, every guy wants to get muscular and build six-packs abs, every lady wants to possess that figure-8 kind of feel and look…

Keeping fit is absolutely healthy and necessary for every young person. Exercising helps you stay healthy, strong, active and alive! It boosts your thinking ability as endorphins are being released all over your brain and mind.

However, while you exercise, be sure of the kind of practices you engage in so you don’t overload yourself with activities that could get you overworked. I have seen people who lost balance and went out of shape due to wrong exercise and fitness activities. So be on the lookout for appropriate fitness moves or better still employ the services of a professional.

2. Money

Everyone loves this one. Hey no one loves broke. Being broke is as good as death! Everyone’s on the run to get out of the death-trap of poverty. Every young person want to live a comfortable life. We all love to walk around with some liquidity so as to meet one or two needs that may arise as we move.

I love to have money too. Hehe! We all do right!?
Everyone wants to be rich and live comfortably.

It’s only saddening how we could get obsessed with this “lo”v”e” that we could go the “extra-mile” of “doing all it takes” to make it.

As much as it’s good to have money, it’s bad to do evil or engage in unhealthy practices to get it. The best way to make money is to “work” for it!

Yes, WORK- Get a conventional job, run a business, just do something but whatever you do, never steal, cheat or rob!

3. Love

The need to love and be loved in return cannot be over-emphasised. As young people, we love to hear, see, feel and know that we’re being loved by that “special someone”.

Love is a very powerful emotion, it sweeps you off your feet and leaves you hanging in the air!

Loving someone is absolutely normal and knowing you’re being loved in return makes the equation balanced. It even boosts your self-worth and makes you feel even more important. As young people, we love to be loved…We could do crazy things with those we truly love and who love us in return.

Seek-out for healthy and good relationships without negative emotions, but don’t be “obsessed” with it in so much that you have little or no control over your emotions. That’s absolutely unhealthy.

Get the right person – that wouldn’t demand much more than you possibly can give and wouldn’t be a burden you cannot carry. Be with the one, your heart truly loves and your mind truly agrees with.

4. Fashion

As a young man, I’ve seen myself caring less about fashion lately and it got be thinking really…

Every young person loves to get along with the trend; get the latests of all things and be seen. Fashion among all others has really taken over the space.

Most young people are very careful about what they wear; not for its decency but for the tendency to be noticed and spoken about by others. Which might not really be a bad thing…

But here’s why I began to care less about the tendency to be noticed for what I wear but for who I really am…

Here’s the quote:

The reality is, no one cares.

People are too busy living their own lives to care about what you wore for dinner last night.

At 20, your life revolves around an obsession of what others think of you;
At 40, you begin to not care what others think of you;

And at 60, you realise that when you were 20, you really weren’t being judged at by anyone but yourself.

– Shirley MacLaine

I think Shirley is right. People are just too busy with their own lives. We’re only left at judging ourselves, which is so unhealthy.

N.B. I love to dress decently and look good, also love those who do same!

5. Celebrities

When ever a celebrity shows up, you see young people on their toes – restless until they either take a selfie or touch them. The crowd is undeniably massive, the obsession is way beyond comprehension. Well, I don’t seem to understand why, but I hope it’s for the good!

I’m not against this one, just bothered somehow… Young people must learn to control their emotions and understand what’s more important in their lives.

As a younster, you must dentify what matters most to you and be true to yourself about it, focus all your efforts towards it, then you’ll find fulfilment in accomplishing it!

That’s it from me today, till I come your way again, very soon.
