I have been working on finding what is holding me back in this life, my challenges or weaknesses, blind spots. I have some ideas from self reflection and my chart which I have been working on, but I still seem riddled with getting where I desire to be. I was talking to a trusted friend about my goals and how I have been struggling meeting them. They brought to my attention a trait or habit of mine that I was not aware that I do. After our meeting, I reflected on what they said and this made me curious about what else I can not see about myself. What other things am I naturally challenged by (from my chart) that I have normalized (or perhaps made excuses for?) as part of my nature? I am alone most of the time, work from home a lot, and do not interact with many people besides some friends via text message. If I go out with my friends, I am usually in a good mood and there to "blow off steam" therefore our conversations at those moments are more shallow and focused on enjoying the evening, they are not deep conversations about life or struggles.
What would be the recommendation for someone like me who does not have much access to other people or close personal friends to receive feedback from about myself? I am now very curious as to what else I do not see about myself that could be integral in achieving what I desire. What else is hindering my progress that I do not see? I am rather frustrated about this as I have been working many years to achieve my desires yet they are still out of reach (closer yes but not yet attained). I am not focusing on the past with what I could have done, I accept that is what is. I am addressing what my friend spoke of, as I believe this is a crucial piece of the puzzle, but how do I see what I do not see?
I too understand that feedback I receive comes from their perspective, experience, and bias. Yet, I do not dismiss this information as I see it as an opportunity to investigate and reflect on myself in a way I had not thought about. Perhaps their feedback is rooted in falsities, perhaps it is rooted in reality, the only way to find out is to accept it and question it within myself, therefore learning more about myself and how I can get closer to achieving my desires. If I were to deny their feedback immediately as false, I could be missing out on something that would get me closer to my goal. I wish I had access to more feedback but I do not know where I can get this if I am currently not around people.
