The thing about vulnerability

by | Inspiration, Personal Development

I used to think being vulnerable was foolish. 

I was afraid to let people see my true emotions. 

They saw the good happy parts, but I hid away the sadness. I masked the anger. I held back the tears. 

But now I know better. 

I know that vulnerability is actually strength.

Vulnerability is confidence. 

Vulnerability is knowing that despite what you share and how you share it, you are powerful and strong and can survive anything.

Something to ponder: Am I more comfortable giving or receiving? Why is that? How can I find greater balance in giving and receiving?
