'Blind spots' are those areas of our life where the people who love us the most and who could help us the most, choose not to 'go there' because they know it won't do any good.
The thought behind the quote
Blind spots are often the parts of our lives where we resist change the most. These are the areas where we are not willing to listen, and as a result, even those who love us the most hesitate to speak up. Why? Because they know their words will likely fall on deaf ears. The Bible warns us in Proverbs 23:9 not to speak in the hearing of a fool because a fool will despise the wisdom shared with them. In many ways, our blind spots are like the foolish parts of us—areas where we refuse to accept guidance.
