I think positive feedback is good. I also think it is better and more motivating than negative feedback (although both are necessary).

I tend to set goals that I can hit. I have longer term goals. But if I only focus on long ten goals I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything even though I’m working hard. If I set lots of short term goals that lead up to the long term goal, I feel like I’ve accomplished way more, even though really I’ve accomplished the same.

It’s important to actually hit the short term goals. If you get in the habit of not hitting them, then they just become ideas you have but never get around to.
