Embrace All Results
One of the most important things for success is feedback.
Only as we become adults, feedback turns into something we call “success” or “failure.”
Learning anything, based on how we are hard wired to learn, absolutely requires feedback.
For some things, this still makes sense, only we don’t really call it “feedback.” We’re more likely to call it something like “try, try and you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
Learning Is A Process
For example, let’s say you’re learning a new song on the piano. You can read music, and you can play other songs, but now you’ve got a new one that’s a little bit more “difficult” than the rest.
You try it the first time, and it sounds a little “off.” Did you succeed? Did you fail? Or do you recognize this as a required step on the path to ultimate mastery?
It’s easy to imagine that you are “learning” a new song, and as such, you don’t expect to be “perfect” the first time.
The feedback is the sounds coming from the piano. Based on the feedback, you adjust your actions, and keep moving forward.
Cut Off Feedback At Your Peril
Imagine trying to play that new song if you had headphones, and were listening to loud heavy metal or something. No feedback. You’d have NO idea if you were getting closer or not, and it would likely take you a lot longer to reach your goal.
Sadly, for many of us, we do the same thing. We purposely AVOID feedback, afraid to see anything short of success.
In many areas, we act as if we’ve ONLY got one chance, and if we “fail” we are doomed to live a life of poverty, lack and loneliness.
Embrace ALL Feedback
Luckily, life is NOT like that, even if we imagine it is.
No matter WHAT we try, the more you OPEN yourself to feedback, the more you ACCEPT and embrace feedback, the more quickly you’ll learn, and the more of the good stuff you’ll eventually get.
No matter WHAT that is for you.
