Churchill's friend called the portrait both an "outrage" and a "masterpiece." Isn't that profound? People have many sides. Some we embrace, and some cause us to recoil. This article captures the heart of the story. Churchill felt betrayed by Graham, but Graham felt a connection to the truth of the man he saw before him.

Any time we receive feedback from our loved ones or from self-assessments, we keep shrinking the "blind self" and boost our self-awareness. :)
