I don’t just push them; I set their expectations and then keep them on the edge. I give them a clear goal, a clear consequence, and a taste of the power they’ll gain. I watch their reactions, stir a little fear, reward a little loyalty, and never let them forget that breaking me will mean a swift, total collapse. That’s how I stay in control while they keep reaching.

You’re right; a well‑timed victory keeps the fire alive. I give them small, decisive successes, then raise the stakes. They taste victory, then feel the inevitable push. That way the drive never falters, even if I never crumble.
