WHAT AM I MISSING?

WHAT AM I MISSING?
A blind spot is an area where  a person's view is obstructed or an area within your range of vision that you are unable to see.
That said, yesterday evening at our cohort meeting, we talked about the blind spot after listening to John C Maxwell's audio about the blind spot.  John said almost every one has a blind spot which is true, everyone does but because he didn't want someone emailing him saying they know some who doesn't, he said not everyone!  How Ironic! Being that they would be talking about someone else and not themselves. Anyway, am writing this because much as I knew I had weaknesses,it has never occurred to me that I have a blind spot.  Well now I know and as many may believe others but themselves have a blind spot, it dawned on me that I must be missing something.  Does everyone around me but me know my blind spot and I don't, questions lingered in my mind all night long. What could it be? What am I missing?

I was afraid I could have hurt someone or that maybe it makes me a bad leader.  Consolation was that I could ask someone that is interested in seeing me grow what mine is then I work on it and I begin by asking my husband.  I didn't know what that looked like in my life and leadership journey and better still as a wife and mother. Hmmm

I must admit, it's quite a challenge  and am even sure how to handle it if I knew it or even recover from it.
As John explained the LENSE principle and said that who we are determines how we see others,  I became damn founded.  We don't see others for who they are but rather through the lense of who are.
We see people in the context of ourselves because we see things as we are.  By this time, I was speechless  and I started giggling.
He then explained another principle as the MIRROR  principle. The first person we must examine is ourselves but do I/we? It's easy to see someone else's face.  Actually a few people can see their blind spots and am not one of those few, I need help!

People do not see themselves, the deception is we are always right considering our instincts or expertise,  knowledge in a certain field and the like. We often see ourselves by our in tensions and others by their actions( Jesus this is me)
so what am l missing?

How do I know my blind spot?
1) Ask people closest to you, people who believe  in you what it is like to be on the other side of you. We don't see ourselves so it's best to ask.  We see others out of context and see ourselves in context. It's amazingly human.
so as we evaluate ourselves,ask! Even Jesus did.
Disclaimer : Jesus though he was in flesh,  he was divine. He had no blind spot.  He is all knowing. Matthew 16:13-16
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples,  saying, "who do men say that I, the son of man, am? "
14 So they said,  some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah... "
