Vulnerability

"Don't try to win over the Haters...
You are not a Jackass Whisperer."

"Vulnerability is baring yourself to others without thinking of the outcome of doing so. Vulnerability doesn’t always mean getting things the way we expect them to be. It involves struggling sometimes. Another important thing is emotion and realizing that the road won’t always be easy. In the same way, vulnerability is also about falling sometimes, but it is the process of rising strong after a fall that “teaches us the most about who we are.”

Wholehearted living is about seeing life through the vantage point of worthiness. It is accepting ourselves and seeing both the good and the bad. Bravery is something we all aim for but in order to be brave, we must also be vulnerable. Vulnerability is also preparing ourselves for heartbreak despite all our efforts. “When we own our stories, we avoid being trapped as characters in stories someone else is telling.”
