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.

Every ant in the ant mound and every bee in the bee hive makes a contribution. Same with humans. Generally speaking, society pays us money relative to our contribution.

With money, we can buy food, shelter, transportation, insurance, and help others.

Money isn’t the root of all evil, it is the love of money that is the trap. Making money is challenging. Investing it and growing it are even more so. But we need to figure it out – it’s our adult responsibility.

Can You Take Initiative?

Humans are fearful creatures. Fear is a gift bestowed on us  to help us survive.

Funny thing is though, Saber-Toothed Tigers are extinct, yet we live as if we might get eaten.

When we hear people complain about their boss, the Government, their colleagues, you know what that person is really complaining about?

They are really complaining about their own insecurities to take initiative and thrive, instead of simply surviving.

As people read this, a third will embrace it, a third will not care, and a third think I’m an idiot.

Life goes on.

Recently, I asked a friend, “Are you ready to be famous?”

He said no. He wasn’t interested in being famous.  Can’t blame him.

But I had to plant the seed, because he needs to realize he’s on a path to become famous whether he wants to be or not.

Do you think being famous would be cool?

I don’t.

But I’d gladly pay the price for one wish.
