Opening up to the perception of others.

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?
  1. Seemed a bit boring.
  2. First impression- friendly humble guy, eager to learn.
  3. Well travelled
  4. This is a serious, no-nonsense kind of guy.
  5. My first impression is that you’ve worked really hard on yourself to get this far.
  6. Early to bed campers
  7. Interesting person. A scholar
  8. This guy is sincere
  9. Shy but friendly
  10. 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
  11. He is a driven and focused person who brings an amazing passion to achieving objectives and meeting customer needs.
  12. 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?
  1. Your intelligence
  2. Hardworking, open to new experiences and your also a passionate teacher and always willing to share.
  3. Kind and fair person
  4. Calm, grounded and fully committed, positive presence.
  5. Your humility and willingness to step in where needed makes you unique.
  6. Quality togetherness
  7. Quiteness. A sense of presence and peace.
  8. Your spirituality
  9. Calm, attentive, open to listen.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  1. Indecision
  2. Not sure. I think you’re a gogetter and can’t imagine anything keeping you from achieving your dreams/targets.
  3. I dunno
  4. Possible limiting beliefs in the self, related to desires and dreams.
  5. There’s absolutely nothing that holds you back, you’re already manifesting what you want.
  6. Uncertainty holds you back
  7. Lessening the subtle sense of distance between yourself and others.
  8. Apathy, meaning you don’t easily acknowledge your emotions.
  9. Control, logic
  10. 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?
  11. What is holding you back is believing in yourself; that anything you put your mind to will be achieved.
  12. 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.
