Passion Practices Fear can be a powerful short-term motivator, but in the long term, being driven by fear is unsustainable. Passions that are fueled by fear quickly become toxic. When we shed fear, we go from playing “not to lose” to playing to win. When we play to win, we take constructive risks that often lead to breakthroughs. Everyone has fears. Working to overcome them is often the key to sustainable passion, performance, and happiness.
