There is a core principle in system thinking of feedback communicating with action (cybernetics, to be exact).

In other words, we look for other feedback we are doing OK in our 20s, 40s, or 60s.

We can look at how well we are doing financially (I imagine most people do, although maybe reluctantly), career satisfaction, family, friends, or other forms of actualization.
