About This Quote
Once again, I've been thwarted by the massive difference between my vision of the successful me and the me I'm currently stuck with. The way Richard Feynman describes it: “Once again, I've been thwarted by the massive difference between my vision of the successful me and the me I'm currently stuck with.” Richard Feynman was a brilliant physicist and one of the most inventive and productive of all time. He was also someone who felt that he had no control over his career as he had too many blind spots. His ability to see beyond those blind spots made him a great physicist, but it also caused him to feel even greater frustration. Your blind spots are your areas where you don't feel as capable as you could be.
They can be physical or mental and they can be about your career or any other area of your life. When you look at them, you see yourself as someone who can’t do things as well as others do. You see yourself as someone who is slow and unproductive compared to others out there in the world.
In reality, your blind spots are just that – a place where you’re not seeing everything that is going on around you. Once you start seeing yourself from a different perspective, you realize that you have more control over your career than you thought. You realize that what others say about you is not true at all – they only have a very limited view of what is going on in your life!
