The excitement we had as a 5 year old, running to our parents in the playground, waving a shiny new certificate at them... As a child, the approval of our parents is integral to our desire to achieve. As adults though, being a hyper-achiever can have drawbacks if we lack focus and clarity. Take a moment. Disengage with the need to achieve. Consider asking yourself: am I doing this for my benefit? Or for the ability to show others what I can do? Will my efforts move me closer to my own goals?
