Life In The Blind Spot

Ever since I can remember I've wanted to drive. I was the little girl who sat on my dad's lap pretending to steer as we drove down our side street, the teenager aching for the freedom of keys, a full tank of gas and the open road prior to curfew. I've had my fair share of bumps along the road (pun intended) in my driving career and I've always been fascinated by, especially now, the blind spot. Something about how hundreds of millions of vehicles are produced, driven by billions of drivers with one accepted fault - a space big enough to hide a car - the blind spot.

We adapt to the blind spot by focusing our attention to all areas that we can see, using our mirrors to get the best view we can try for, knowing that if we do not adapt, turn and even change, there is a space right next to us that we will never see. 

My life is sort of in a blind spot right now. I came home from a whirlwind soul-searching adventure with a re-energized passion for my career, just to find that the company I have been working for has been sold and my position terminated. I'm not completely blind but there are definitely spots in my mirrors I'm unsure of. Now instead of driving a car I'm driving my future and I'm using all the tools I have to get myself there safely, smartly and confidently. I'm embracing the mystery of my life's blind spot and I'm sure I'll find whatever's hiding there as soon as it's meant to be.
