Living life fully also involves assuming the vulnerability that allows us to remain true to ourselves and what we think and feel. When we choose to be vulnerable, we are choosing courage over comfort, even if it means we can fall and be criticized.
We are programmed for love and belonging. It’s in our DNA. But although the path between people is only made through vulnerability, we tend to avoid it, for fear of being judged as weak or too permeable to suffering.
However, having the ability to be vulnerable should not generate fear, but gratitude, because if we think about it, an act of courage also requires vulnerability, because for this to happen, emotional exposure, uncertainty and risk must exist, that is, vulnerability. However, as a rule, courage is seen as a synonym for strength while vulnerability is seen as a sign of weakness.
Despite the need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, every act of vulnerability must be conscious so that it doesn’t take control of our lives and emotions. That is, to be vulnerable is to risk without certainty of the results, but it’s not to share everything and expose ourselves to a level that could be harmful.
The truth is that vulnerability has limits, but without it, there is no creativity or true connection with those around us.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable and courageous!
