We need other people to help us see what we cannot see about ourselves. Honest feedback is one of our best hopes for initiating change, the change that we really want to see.
Have you ever wondered why lasting change feels so elusive? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles this very question. He kicks things off with a thought-provoking query: do you genuinely want to see change in your life? If your answer is 'yes', then buckle up because Monty argues that we all need others to help us see the blind spots we can't spot on our own.
Drawing from the wisdom of Proverbs, Monty explains that humans aren't naturally equipped for honest self-assessment. We often react with shame or defensiveness when faced with our flaws. However, he suggests that by embracing feedback from others, we can gain valuable insights and kickstart real transformation. Monty encourages listeners to seek out accountability partners, spiritual advisors, or sponsors who can offer truthful, yet kind, guidance.
He acknowledges that judgment and shame can be barriers to growth, but stresses the importance of being open to correction and freeing ourselves from self-loathing. Throughout the episode, Monty's message is clear and heartfelt: we all need a little help to see what we can't see about ourselves. His words resonate with authenticity and hope, making this episode a must-listen for anyone committed to personal growth and lasting change.
