The Performer believes you must
accomplish and succeed to be loved. Consequently, Performer are
industrious, fast-paced, goal-focused, and efficiency-oriented, but
also can be inattentive to feelings, impatient, and image-driven.
Abbreviated Version of the
Basic Proposition
:
The original state of hope
[the Holy Idea] wherein things work according to universal law (i.e.
are not dependent on the effort of the doer) goes into the
background in a world that you perceive rewards doing, not being.
Consequently, you come to believe that you can gain love,
acceptance, and recognition through performance, doing and success.
Concurrently, you develop a go-ahead energy of self-deception [the
Passion of Deceit] in order to match to an image of success and
approval [the Fixation or Chief Feature of Vanity]. Attention
naturally goes to tasks and things to accomplish.
