What is the purpose of interpersonal feedback?

For 35+ years I have believed that feedback was designed specifically to focus on what was wrong and fix it. Improve myself. Correct course. Find the problem. Get it together.

Now I find myself turning toward a new set of possibilities. Could feedback be to grow more aware? To be mindful of the entire picture, both what works and what doesn't? Might feedback even be an opportunity to celebrate what is present instead of finding what is next?
