Blind spots.

Blind spots.

 

When we’re driving, they’re that place in the neighboring lane where we can’t see what lurks. Is there a Honda Civic sitting there, just waiting to honk if we try to change lanes?

 

In your home, you may have blind spots, too. A corner that’s neglected, that has had the same few things piled on a surface for so long you’ve stopped seeing it. A closet that has so much pushed to the back you don’t even know what’s back there.

 

What about in the way you talk to people? Any blind spots there? Assumptions you make, about what they’re saying and what it means? Or conclusions you leap to? How can you identify these blind spots?
