Someone messaged me privately: they say they’ve been studying all along, yet they still feel confused and have no direction. In fact, the problem is often not that you haven’t learned enough, but that you lack feedback grounded in the real world. You take in a lot of knowledge, but you take action very rarely; you keep thinking about the future, but you seldom enter real environments to test it. Without doing enough things, without going through enough trial and error, and without receiving enough real-world feedback, it’s hard to form reality-based cognition that truly belongs to you. Real direction isn’t something you imagine into existence—it’s something you gradually find through repeated practice, exploration, and correction. The more you act, the more abundant the feedback; only then will your understanding of the world—and of yourself—become more accurate.
