English term or phrase: blind spots
Entendo o significado de "blind spots" nestas frases, mas estou buscando uma tradução mais metafórica, que tenha mais a ver com o contexto. Caberia mesmo "pontos cegos", "cegueiras", literalmente, como se usa em medicina?

"We all have blind spots.
Reducing or eliminating blind spots can help us navigate through life more effectively.
One way to reduce blind spots is to receive feedback from others."

Obrigada desde já pela ajuda!

Aspectos/pontos negativos


Explanation:
A metáfora significa ter pontos menos positivos, ter falhas, que se enquadra perfeitamente na frase que você colocou como exemplo. Um blind spot, ao fim e ao cabo, é um ponto negativo que não observamos, e que por isso pedimos feedback (informação) a terceiros para poder reduzi-los. Cumprimentos.
