Blind Spots....

We all have "blind spots". Donna Farhi says we know we are in the vicinity of a blind spot when we keep experiencing the same dilemma over and over again. We complain about this to our friends or anyone who will listen, yet we are defensive if someone highlights what we are unwilling to identify in ourselves.
Most of us think of blind spot as negative traits, or behaviors. What if some of our blind spots are actually positive traits or habits. What if we are talented, skilled, smart, kind, beautiful, funny, loving, or courageous etc in ways we are completely unaware of? If someone has pointed this out to us did we dismiss it and continue to berate ourselves for not being enough??

We know we are becoming more conscious when we are willing to accept and learn from our "blind spots".
