SHOW NOTES
Where does the desire to perform stem from?
Whether you have kids or not, it’s almost certain that at some point or another, a child has stopped you and said, “Watch this!” or “Look at me!” It can be frustrating at times especially because it’s typically the most inconvenient moments that they choose to perform.
But even as adults, the desire to perform is something that is deeply rooted in us. Whether we are trying to meet a quota at work, receive accolades in our parenting, or get validation from our spouse, there is no doubt that this desire to perform is prevalent.
