The person who helps you deal with your "blind spots" should be a treasured friend. Find those who love you & ask them what they see that you don't.

The thought behind the quote
Psalm 141:5 teaches us that being corrected by a righteous person is an act of kindness—it is like soothing oil for our heads, that brings healing. The person who is willing to speak the truth to you, even when it’s uncomfortable, is a person to be treasured. It takes courage for someone to lovingly point out an area in your life where you need growth, and it takes humility to receive that correction with grace. True friends care enough to say the hard things because they want to see you become the best version of yourself. They are not there to criticize you or tear you down, but to lift you up and help you grow.
