The Art of Vulnerability

Vulnerability is a Powerful Force.

One of which we always have access

to help us to experience greater levels of happiness

and contentment in our lives.

What happens when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable?

We become better.

It is true that we have been taught exactly the opposite. From a young age most of us are taught to protect ourselves, not to trust anyone, not to show emotion, play it cool, and on and on.

When we partake in any of these things, we mask ourselves and close ourselves and others off from experiencing us as we truly are.

In essence, we begin living a lie, so to speak.

We pretend that others aren't able to see how we are feeling, but in reality,

WE SEE EACH OTHER.

Some may be more sensitive than others in their seeing, and others may pay less attention.

Regardless, the reality is the same;  we do see each other behind the masks that we create.

If we have been taught that showing vulnerability is a weakness, then how can we even begin to see it as a source of power?

Most all of the great teachers across the planet have shown their vulnerability and accessed their true inner power from this place.

They have gathered the masses to follow them and change the world by their side.

Look at the lives of Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Jesus Christ, Mother Theresa, and Martin Luther King Jr, just to name a few.

 True transparency is the Art of Vulnerability.

What do we really have to hide?

We all have been hurt, we all have made mistakes, we all have the same basic desires and needs, we all are human.

If someone chooses to judge us for being honest and showing how we really are feeling, is choosing them as a friend a wise choice?

Consider the choice of having people in our lives that we can be ourselves with and who honor us for it?

What about the choice of being true to ourselves?

There is a melting down that takes place when begin allowing ourselves to be vulnerable.

A softening happens. We become Real. We become Beautiful. We become Respectable, Trust worthy, and Kind and Compassionate.

We show our true strength in the most humble and powerful way.

When we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known,

we are honoring the most sacred part of ourselves.

In sharing this part of ourselves, we are also honoring it in another by allowing them the gift of seeing us fully.

Anyone who has spent time in meditation knows the ABSOLUTE POWER OF VULNERABILITY.

One must die to one's sense of self in order to attain enlightenment.

Meaning; one must become absolutely vulnerable in order for the self or ego to dissolve enough that the veils fall away, and truth is revealed.

This is when we begin to truly see reality.

Vulnerability is our friend that can enhance our lives in many ways.

Allowing true vulnerability requires great strength. One must be comfortable enough with themselves and strong enough to take the risk.

The results that can come from demonstrating such strength, can do nothing short of changing the world.

Certainly showing vulnerability will change your life!

Vulnerability is where all creativity is birthed.  It is the seed from which everlasting change is born.

Go for it~ Show your true face!

We are waiting for you to come alive and come out to play with us!

Let's change the world together.

“Vulnerability is the only authentic state.
Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure.
Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty.
Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset.
Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you,
in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.”
― Stephen Russell
