About a year ago, I discovered a blindspot in my right eye \u2013 a small grey blob where everything disappears. It\u2019s not like a black spot or something visible blocking my vision. It\u2019s simply this tiny area where everything ceases to exist \u2013 at least in my mind \u2013 even though the objects are clearly still there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I soon realised I could use this blindspot to my advantage. If my kids started whingeing or my hubby was having a bad day, I squeezed one eye shut, adjusted my vision to stealthily position the blindspot over where they were. And just like that, I made them disappear! #besttrickever <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Except, they hadn\u2019t really disappeared, had they? I could still hear the kids whingeing and my husband grumbling. And it was going to stay that way until I did something about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s like all the things in your business that frustrate you, worry you, scare you, and so on. You try to hold that \u2018blindspot\u2019 over them, hoping they will disappear, and maybe they do \u2013 but only just for a moment. Because let\u2019s be real \u2013 they don\u2019t go away until you deal with them. Like paying your tax bill, getting your business affairs in shape, dealing with a difficult person, or resolving a long-standing conflict. Try as you might, they don\u2019t just disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other thing I noticed with my blindspot is that beautiful objects can suddenly disappear too, and fade out of my awareness. For example, when I look out across our garden with two eyes, I see everything in its beauty. But when I close my \u2018good\u2019 eye, some of that beauty disappears and I miss out on what\u2019s right in front of me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In business, when opportunities, potential and possibility are right in front of you, but for whatever reason, your \u2018blindspot\u2019 is positioned right over them, it\u2019s as if they don\u2019t exist. Others can see it, but you fail to register the massive opportunity that lies before you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, people close to you keep encouraging you to take the stage and share your message as a public speaker. But you can\u2019t even imagine yourself up on that stage let alone impacting other people. Your fear is your blindspot and it\u2019s holding you back from truly expressing your fullest potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So,\u00a0I invite you to reflect on your\u00a0blindspots\u00a0right now. One, what are you trying to make disappear and how can you deal with this head on? And two, what massive opportunities can you bring more fully into your awareness and vision right now?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
