I’m going to want your feedback on this one!

What’s the difference between validation and feedback?

Where in your life do you seek out or crave validation? Is it helping, hurting or some mixture of both?

Where in your life do you search for feedback? Is it helping, hurting or is it situational?

How do you see the difference between validation and feedback? Is one more important than the other? Is the answer entirely based on context?

Where might you need more feedback where you’re currently seeking validation?

Is it possible you simply need validation and not feedback? 

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one!
