Routine Maintenance

Most people really want to do their best. Probably a remnant of our basic caveman ancestry to figure out how to stay alive.

But the fear of being eaten is long gone, and we drift, unintentionally, toward the abyss of going through the motions.

I often wonder if the plank others see in my eye is as big as the one I see in theirs.

Blind Spot

Even Their Blind Spots
Even Their Blind Spots

We all have blind spots. You know, stuff everyone else can easily see about us that we are clueless to.

As a professional speaker, the classic example is the keynote speaker who says, “Um” so many times in their speech that you start counting, just to see what a ridiculously high number it will be.

Last night, a consultant I’ve been traveling with said, “You know what I’ve noticed about you?  You’ll talk to anyone.”

Blind spots are almost always stereotyped as negative.  Guess that’s a big blind spot for all of us.
