How to deal with feedback?
What others think?
Say?
Maybe behind our back?
First
If everything is always awesome
That's not really helpful for us
At all
Maybe
That's not the whole truth then
Or
We're not pushing our envelope
Sure
In today's world
There's going to be great feedback
If we (always?) win
But
We're showing (off)
Something
That we're already good at
Here
We're looking for
Development
Hence challenges
Striving
Towards higher
Longer term goals
Struggle forward
From the outside
That often won't look as pretty
Maybe it seems like we're stuck
For a while
So if between people
We're not working or interacting
With similar mindsets
We will also get negative feedback
Maybe exclusively
Misunderstanding
Not understanding
Are we somewhat crazy
Maybe jealousy at its core
Envy
Knowing, or sensing
One is stuck also
So what to do about it
Maybe not daring to look
Bad
Or not as good
Once we've sufficiently checked
That we're not overly
Obsessed
On the wrong track
That the current persistence is
Not futile
We're really opening a door
At least for ourselves
How about practice where
When no one is watching
Or find others
With the same mindset
But how to always end up with
Something constructive
From feedback?
What other people think?
We can choose to know
What people think
By asking for it
"Tell me more."
Take that in
Consider it
Sleep on it
Assess it
Talk to others
With different
Viewpoints
Backgrounds
In the end
Even "negative"
Or dismissive feedback
Can be positive
To challenge our
Assumptions
Force us to have good
Reasons
And communicate them
Well
To those who matter
To us
And with that
Negative feedback
Might actually reinforce
That we're on the right track :)
Cause
At the end of the day
We're accountable
