Vulnerability

Why do we put such an enormous effort into hiding our vulnerability?

When we feel safe enough to expose our shadows, that's when we become FREE!

Vulnerability is not winning or losing; its having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.

Vulnerability is not weakness; its our greatest measure of courage.

It takes courage to be yourself in a world where you are constantly told that who you are is never enough. Being yourself is the biggest gift you can offer yourself and others. Be brave enough to show the world who YOU are without an apology. This world has enough woman who live a masked insecurity; who tear and put other woman down due to that in order to raise their own selves up. This world needs more woman who live a brave vulnerability! Being our messy, imperfect authentic selves helps create a space where others feel safe to be themselves too.

Your vulnerability can be a gift to others!

Vulnerability is being willing to express the truth no matter what, the truth of who you are, the essence at your core of what you're feeling at any given moment. It's being able to open up your soul so that others can see their soul in yours. - Oprah Winfrey

Being vulnerable opens up a lot of doors and opportunities that you would never have had if it wasn't for becoming more vulnerable. The more vulnerable you become; the more empowering it is for you and you will become stronger and more whole in who you are.

You become who you were meant to be.

A lot of times we are so scared to open up. We are fearful of what others may think; or we think that we may fail, get rejected, or even used. What if we are scared because we only project our fears and insecurities onto others and we just end up believing our assumptions rather than the reality of the actual situation itself. Yes, some may still try to take advantage of your vulnerability. However, the best possible outcome, could be knowing the real beauty of life while surrounding ourselves with honest connections.

Its so rare these days to meet someone who is completely vulnerable and honest in who they are as a person. When you find someone who boldly throws themselves out there; appreciate it.

Too many people are busy putting on a show and acting as if they are better than everyone else.

These people are unable to focus on the bigger picture here. We all have baggage. We all have bad days or moods. WE all have our struggles. All of us have done or said things that we don't like; but that's life. You cannot take it back; you can only move forward.

A person who has the ability to be real, with not only themselves but others as well, is a real gem.

Ways you can be vulnerable in:

• Doing something you are not good at

• Speaking your truth

• Showing that you care

• Allowing yourself to feel strong emotions

• Breaking the status quo

• Talking candidly with others

• Being the first to open up

• Trusting someone

• Asking for help

• Saying no
