Make sure that your natural defaults don't create "fault lines" that cause "earthquakes" in your significant relationships.

The thought behind the quote
We all have natural defaults based on our personalities and hereditary influences (the family of origin we were raised in). These “defaults” are our BLINDSPOTS! Let me say it even stronger: the blindspots that we all have are umbilically connected to our natural defaults.
Our natural defaults determine the way we process people, places and circumstances and THE MEANING WE GIVE THINGS! No one can determine your defaults except you! No one can determine your process except you! No one can make things mean something except you! No one can deal with your blindspots except you!
So.... For your own sake... For any relationship that you actually care about... Don’t allow your defaults to create fault lines that cause “relational-quakes” that cannot be fixed!!!
If you want GREAT LONGTERM RELATIONSHIPS... Don’t default...to your natural defaults!!! This is what makes LEADERSHIP...so important!
