Did your mom or dad ever scold you as a kid, yelling at you for being hot-headed—while they were in the middle of a heated rant themselves? Maybe you’ve called out a friend for always being on their phone when you're talking to them—yet you find yourself doing the exact same thing. Do you hear something about yourself repeated by different people in different situations?
Yep blind spots.
While blind spots are often associated with negative situations or limitations, they can also involve your strengths.
Perhaps people often compliment your smile, generosity or positivity—friends, coworkers, even your dentist—but you shrug off the praise every time.
Yep blind spot.
Blind spots are tricky because you’re unaware of them until something triggers your awareness—like feeling stuck or recognizing behaviors you’d rather avoid.
Being ‘blind’ to how you’re perceived, or ‘blind’ to who you truly are because of old wounds, can keep you from seeing yourself completely. Recognizing blind spots is essential for personal growth. No matter how often I was reminded to check my blind spots, I couldn’t see them—at least not on my own. I needed trusted people to help me identify these hidden areas.
How about you? Are you ready to discover what you don’t know you don’t know?
Watch for the blind spots.
