Things That Make Us Blind

These are just a few of them that affect people who work on their work:

You want what you decided to buy, the alternative becomes less desirable when you’ve made a decision mentally. It makes us blind, the solution is to know it’s happening and choose to see the full picture.

You want what you decided life should look like, the alternative makes you anxious because you’re living alongside ego in the gap between those worlds. It makes us blind, the solution is to know it’s happening and choose to see the full picture.

You want people to want what you decided to sell, the alternatives seem silly to you because you sold yourself on your own solution as being the only true path. It makes us blind, the solution is to know it’s happening and to see the full picture.

Bias and ego are tripwires to our work’s progress (and our own pursuits of virtuous living, really). Watch out for them to give that work (and yourself) a better chance at reaching its potential.
