Vulnerability is not weakness.

You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

It's about showing up. And sometimes I don't do it. I almost always regret it, but sometimes I don't do it. Sometimes I walk into a situation where I'm intimidated and I want to be liked and I want to fit in, and I don't choose authenticity. And it's always pretty miserable.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.
