Blind spots are like a Mack truck barreling through your life—they reveal your weak spots, limitations, and can quickly humble your reactions.
I was remembering a conversation with a dear friend on the drive home from a weekend seminar. We reflected on the powerful experiences we’d encountered and insights we’d gained. Then, out of nowhere, my friend looked over and said, “You know, you have some very limiting beliefs.”
WHAAAAT?!
I felt an instant jolt of defensiveness. I immediately launched into rationalizing, justifying, and minimizing my behavior. But deep down, I knew: a blind spot had just been exposed.
Here’s what I realized from that moment, and what you can take away too—those parts of ourselves we deny or resist, they’re often the very clues pointing to our blind spots.
Start paying attention to what people say around you. Sometimes, the words we resist the most hold the truth we need to see. Our blind spots limit us, but they also reveal areas ripe for growth.
When you uncover your blind spots, you become more conscious of your strengths, areas of opportunity, and the boundaries that you are operating within so you can lean forward and build a better you.
Watch for the blind spots.
