Stay Vulnerable Even When It Hurts
Stay Vulnerable Even When It Hurts
by lollydaskal in Blog, Lead From Within, Personal Development, Purpose
Each day that we make choices about our life and we don’t
admit our vulnerability, we are robbing ourselves of our humanity.
Vulnerability is as much a part of being human as is strength.
Many of us have been conditioned to be strong.
Many of us have been encouraged not to ask for help.
Many of us have been persuaded not need anyone.
To be human is to discover we can be vulnerable and still be strong.
We can ask for help and still lead and we can need others and still be tenacious.
Most creative, innovative, visionary people have been people who have lived their lives by serendipity, inspiration and vulnerability.
You may feel that you have tried too many times too many things, or maybe you have been judged too harshly in the past and you have lost the innocence to stay vulnerable.
It takes a strong person to live openly in their vulnerability.
Admitting that you don’t have to solve every problem you face is strong.
Allowing yourself to say, “I don’t have to fix every problem is strong”
In times of vulnerability:
• Read biographies’ of others: see how others have struggled through their fragile moments and survived.
• Start journaling: see where you need to remain open and admit your fragility, admitting vulnerability creates intimacy.
• Begin self reflection: taking the time to go inward, begins with you, it gives you the answers are seeking.
You can’t solve a problem you won’t face.
You can't protect yourself against possible hurt.
This world is about taking in not shutting out.
In order to find your way, you have to pay close attention to the signs about when you feel you want to shut down and hide behind those messages: I don’t need you. I can do this by myself.
We must reenter the truth of what is really going on and be honest.
We must stay vulnerable.
We cannot fear what lies within us, we can only love ourselves long enough to accept ourselves.

From Within: The
strongest people are the ones that can withstand their vulnerability and honor
the balance about remaining open and being vulnerable.
