Almost everyone at the studio admired how Walt, in either conducting them or flitting among them, forged them into a unit.
The kind of motivation you have when you are trying to reach a promotion goal—an achievement or accomplishment—feels like eagerness, an enthusiastic desire to really go for it. Not surprisingly this eagerness is heightened by positive feedback—in other words, the more you seem to be succeeding, the more motivated you become. Increasing confidence heightens your energy and intensity. Negative feedback, on the other hand, dampens your eagerness. Feeling like you might fail saps your motivation. Doubting yourself takes the wind right out of your sails. In pursuit of prevention goals—seeking safety and security—the motivation you have feels like vigilance, a desire to stay clear of danger. Vigilance actually increases in response to negative feedback or doubting yourself. There’s nothing like the looming possibility of failure, the very real likelihood of danger, to get your prevention juices flowing.

Fear is the enemy. Life is not your enemy; the Other is not your enemy; fear is the enemy, and fear has crowded you into a diminished corridor of that vast mansion of possibility that the gods provide us. Ask yourself of every dilemma, every choice, every relationship, every commitment, or every failure, “Does this choice diminish me or enlarge me?” ~ What Matters Most, p. 13
