Moving through our life we go through an endless series of feedback loops, that come together to shape the path that we are moving forward on. Whatever we do triggers some form of reaction (internally or externally), which provides us with new information, that we can use to prepare our next step. We received some form of feedback.

If we weren’t able to receive and assess new information, nothing would ever change or we would do everything completely at random all the time. But that’s luckily not the case. Quite the contrary actually, as we can also take feedback that other people received and add it to our information portfolio. Therefore, not everybody has to do to the same mistakes and bad experiences for us as a whole to progress. Isn’t it good to be social .

This situation has put us in the position in which we can achieve many great things without having to collect our own feedback first. We can cook fantastic meals that we have never cooked before by following a recipe, as somebody else already refined it and figured out what works and what doesn’t. Tutorials and guides exist for almost everything and are widespread thanks to the internet. Collecting our own feedback seems to have become optional for many things.

However, since we are individuals, we won’t ever be able to solve everything with the information that others collected. Some things will always require us to make our own moves, receive our own feedback and make our own moves based on it.

Therefore, feedback in different ways has an important role in our life reaching for goals.
