And we know what the ego barrier is, like I gotta be right, or whatever it is, or I'm not good at this.
The blind spot barrier is the realization that people actually see things different.
They see different things.
Like somebody will see the big picture, somebody will see the detail.
They'll focus on different things, almost like a color spectrum type of thing.
And if you realize that you will see a part of that spectrum and other people will see the other part of the spectrum, and so that you really need to, when you go above yourself, you really need to orchestrate all those ways of seeing.
Because you are not just one of those people that's gotta do it yourself.
Your way of being the success is to go above it and be the orchestrator and know what you're good at and what you're not good at.
So it's almost like if you want your life to be successful,
you will not let yourself do certain things because you're just no good at them.
Once you get that picture down, then you can find the paths wherever the paths are.
You're open-minded because now you've given up your ego barrier and your blind spot barrier.
So your particular case just was another one of those.
Everything, the way is another one of those.
And so that's how you could, if I can get people to think, I want to convey what that means.
And then I want to then understand how to think at the principle level, because then life becomes so much easier, because if you have the principle.
And what I mean by that is like you could look at all the things that are coming at you
and they're just the things coming at you.
If you instead think of each thing as being like a type of species, think of that as like an animal species or something.
Okay, what one of those is it?
