I opened myself up for the input of others in my life asking them three questions. Usually I will be shy but I committed to the journey:
What was your first impression when we first met?
- Seemed a bit boring.
- First impression- friendly humble guy, eager to learn.
- Well travelled
- This is a serious, no-nonsense kind of guy.
- My first impression is that you’ve worked really hard on yourself to get this far.
- Early to bed campers
- Interesting person. A scholar
- This guy is sincere
- Shy but friendly
- I felt at ease being around you. Your were friendly. I felt you listened deeply in our conversations. I felt we had a connection. I also felt you did not totally reveal the full you, there was something being held back
- He is a driven and focused person who brings an amazing passion to achieving objectives and meeting customer needs.
- My first impression of you when we met was that you seemed quite calm and self-assured. At peace with yourself, as if nothing much ruffled your feathers. You also seemed quite spiritually advanced. Hence the reason I asked you what belief system you practiced.
What particular qualities do I posess that makes me stand out as who I am?
- Your intelligence
- Hardworking, open to new experiences and your also a passionate teacher and always willing to share.
- Kind and fair person
- Calm, grounded and fully committed, positive presence.
- Your humility and willingness to step in where needed makes you unique.
- Quality togetherness
- Quiteness. A sense of presence and peace.
- Your spirituality
- Calm, attentive, open to listen.
- I feel you are a big hearted and kind man, who is responsible and have integrity as a man. You are very passionate about the things you love and enjoy. I love that aspect.
- I worked with you for few years and have a great deal of respect of your capabilities and competencies, and hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
- The previous responses are also the qualities that stand out to me about you
What do you think holds me back from manifesting all the things I want in life?
- Indecision
- Not sure. I think you’re a gogetter and can’t imagine anything keeping you from achieving your dreams/targets.
- I dunno
- Possible limiting beliefs in the self, related to desires and dreams.
- There’s absolutely nothing that holds you back, you’re already manifesting what you want.
- Uncertainty holds you back
- Lessening the subtle sense of distance between yourself and others.
- Apathy, meaning you don’t easily acknowledge your emotions.
- Control, logic
- This is always a difficult one! From the outside you appear to have and do the things you like and enjoy doing, although I am not sure if these are all the things you want though? The question begs the knowledge of what is it you truly want? Material possessions, spiritual fulfilment and connection, a loving partner? (The list can go on) It is difficult for me to answer this without knowing what it is you want? Are you attaining your wants already or not?
- What is holding you back is believing in yourself; that anything you put your mind to will be achieved.
- And, as for the last question, i think that that is something that only you can answer for yourself. I can’t see what’s holding you back from manifesting your true heart’s desire. Only you can know that, I think.
