'Blind spots' are the 'BIG buts' in our lives we never see. After all, our 'butts' are behind us, that we put before us, after we have heard what has been said to us...that we don't necessarily agree with...'I know, BUT...'.
The thought behind the quote
Blind spots can often be compared to the big "buts" we unknowingly carry around. After all, our "butts" are behind us, yet we put them before us after hearing what has been said to us, especially when we don't fully agree. You know the phrase: "I know, BUT..." This is a prime example of a blind spot.
When we receive wise counsel from a friend or trusted mentor, sometimes our immediate response is not to listen but to rationalize. We find ourselves inserting that big "but," an excuse or a reason that prevents us from taking the advice we need to hear. The danger of these "buts" is that they keep us in a cycle of choosing comfort over growth.
