Puppy Dog Syndrome

Definition

An overwhelming need to seek approval from others in validation or praise often leading to cyclical disappointment, jealousy or rejection.-p.o.martig

Ditch the Puppy

Sometimes having the right motivation but wrong delivery mechanism (always seeking approval from others) can cause helplessness and failure.  Try switching to approval from within first:

Do what you do because it helps you.

Do what you do because it excites and motivates you.

A job well done must first and foremost inspire you.

Don’t expect gratitude or praise from others as your goal.

Success loves confidence;  it causes the puppy dog to follow you!
