Be Brave When Vulnerable
Let's face it. NOT one amongst is NOT VULNERABLE. We have tons and tons of VULNERABILITIES. According to American writer Brene Brown, being VULNERABLE is never a WEAKNESS at all. Unfortunately, many of us [that included me before] hate the word VULNERABLE. It sounds negative📌📌📌
We all agree that being VULNERABLE is that state where we find ourselves needing help from others. It's like opening ourselves up to judgment and even to disappointments. To add salt to injury, people tend to pass judgment so easily because they lack empathy. BUT the question is, if they put themselves in another person's shoes, will they do things DIFFERENTLY? Will they act DIFFERENTLY? Will they come out of it better than the person who is actually experiencing a particular challenge in life? A lot of people just DON'T want to show VULNERABILITY because they DON'T want to be judged, period📗📙📘
Now let's swing to one of our worst fears. It is DISAPPOINTMENT. Getting DISAPPOINTED happens when we have a lot of expectations [and sometimes the expectations may be few but SO HIGH it's just unachievable]. So, when we are VULNERABLE, we hope to find support from our loved ones or close friends BUT there are times when the support we were expecting is neither given nor extended. So, it becomes a RISK everytime we share those 'DARK MOMENTS' in our lives..... BUT taking a RISK is a BRAVE thing to do💎💎💎Now, what does it take to show others that we are BRAVE enough although life is NEVER perfect? It's just human nature that we deal with adversities all the time BUT again, we are also resilient. Being VULNERABLE is just human. Those trials and tribulations in life are NOT something we should be ashamed of, sometimes shit [pardon for lack of a better word] happens and we end up NOT having control of it💊💊💊When do we find our true, genuine friends? It is during our moments of VULNERABILITY, ironically. BUT could we have found them if we were never BRAVE enough to show them we're VULNERABLE? To clear up the air of confusion, VULNERABILITY is NOT winning or losing BUT it is having the courage to show up and be seen when we have NO control over the outcome. Be Brave When Vulnerable✅✅✅
