You have blind spots even though you don’t like to think you do. There are things about yourself that you can’t see, areas where your way of thinking prevents you from a complete and accurate view of reality, no matter how hard you try. It’s not special to you; blind spots are a human thing. Expecting that you can’t see it all and you can’t appreciate what you can’t see creates room to be open to observations and feedback from others in a new way. Feedback and outside eyes stop being something to fear and become something worth seeking out (if you really want to see the truth, that is).

This video called “It’s Not About the Nail” puts this concept on display in a fantastic (and hilarious) way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg. Expect to have blind spots. Hold space for the idea that you may not see something that is plainly obvious to someone else. Not all feedback has the same weight or is deserving of your time, but seeking to understand what people in your life who truly have your best intentions at heart observe may save you from unnecessary struggle and pain and may strengthen pieces of your Owner’s Manual.
