As Winifred Gallagher teaches us in "...Hey Em,<br /><br />As Winifred Gallagher teaches us in "Rapt," what we choose to focus on makes our reality different than anyone else's, and whatever we are focusing on at the moment becomes important out of all proportion, because we're focusing on it at the time. I think those points combine to suggest that when assessing feedback, we should also consider what the person giving feedback was focused on, and we should consider the feedback later, after not focusing for a while on the events to which the feedback applies. By considering the feedback's focus, we gain perspective on its importance to the overall event. By waiting to consider the feedback until a more neutral time with respect to the event, we gain a more balanced perspective in our own mind. This combination gives us greater confidence that we can assess the merits of the feedback and then take appropriate actions, if any.<br /><br />I can't imagine you doing less than your best to prepare for an event, and our best is all any of us can do. Doesn't mean we can't learn something for the next time, but perhaps we can be content with our efforts in the past, given what we knew then. I need this lesson frequently.<br /><br />Take care.
