Amazing people need to be allowed to influence your life

After writing the Top 10 things I like about myself, I've sent those to A. as agreed. As there are no good enough words to describe what an amazing person A. is, I have decided to post his reply to my ten things, because his words speak for themselves. It is a joy, an adventure, a discovery and always a big smile in my heart to read his beautiful words, try to understand his beautiful ideas and incorporate them somehow into my life. 

I hope that he won't see this as a breach of privacy (as an e-mail is private and destined for the addressee, but I will get his permission to publish this). 

"Hi Andra, thanks for the email. I appreciate it and that you kept your promise. This is much better than over promise and under deliver!

Don't worry I won't search for your blog, and am happy not to know that which you prefer to keep hidden. Although I thought public blog and maintaining privacy were contradictions. Maybe you are jesting with me or like the aura of mystery.

Firstly yes I had fun reading your email.

And of course we both shall want to go into the details at the right moment, disecting each part like only a skilled surgeon and systems analyst can. It is all part of your metamorphisis  .......and as you wisely stated you are ....seeking to improve and evolve.... the support...and extra push...is sometimes needed!

It is natural to resist the light of scrutiny and struggle against a limiting enclosure, but your striving has no meaning without your self created cocoon.

So you will feign reluctance initially, realising resistance is futile, instead trusting and knowing, that eventually you will relish the exquisite joy of liberation, in powerfully and eloquently being able to express all your beautiful aspects!

Then the transformation will have occurred, the butterfly finding her wings, and taking flight.   

So now what to say of your list......You have delved into the depths of your soul to perceive your majestic qualities, and have been intrepid to share and reveal yourself. 

Would it crush your new found self expression and perception of truth, if I offered my analysis with a brutal honesty?

Perhaps diplomacy and courtesy should prevail to encourage a flourishing of your loveable qualities.....or perhaps like Davinci we should strive for balance and follow Bhudda along the middle path. 

All jokes aside, I can sincerely say I loved what you wrote. Clearly a wonderful and inspired person wrote this :) 

Well done on being able to see these qualities in yourself, elaborate and express them. It is very attractive! which is of course another beautiful trait.

 .   

Agreed you have a beautiful smile, and I have seen and experienced many of your other likeable and beautiful aspects.
Some of these have now been beautifully expressed by you, some have been articulated by me, and yet more are still left unexpressed.  

Also I mentioned previously many of the qualities you have now stated are shared by those classed as geniuses. So that puts you in good company.

Thanks again for your insight, and heartfelt sharing. Even more so if you have shared them with a larger group. Does your private/ public blog have many people following?

When the open heart speaks its wisdom, it articulates those ineffable truths, that leads others to their greatness. Inspiring them to realise their potential and empowering them to realise their dreams.

For that reason your self expression is admirable and greatly appreciated by life and me.   

Look forward to speak tomorrow.

Dream your dreams xx"
