#154: Vulnerability Opens Doors

In this mindset episode, we are talking about the simple concept of vulnerability, and practicing vulnerability can literally change our lives.  "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.  Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage." ~Brene Brown.
Today we discuss what vulnerability is, how we can learn to practice it, and what doors it can open for us.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Vulnerability is choosing courage over comfort. It is allowing us to be seen which allows others to see us.  It is our only form of creating connections with others. 
2. The most powerful relationships we can build in our lives can only come from being vulnerable. We must be open to changing and growing. It requires both parties to be open to giving and receiving. It is a two-way street of energy exchange.
3. Be willing to do it wrong before you get it right. You will be vulnerable to the wrong people before you build your circle to be vulnerable to the right people.
4. We fear vulnerability because we are afraid of the judgment of others or of looking weak in the eyes of others. I really think it is our fear of seeing ourselves as being weak. We have to be in a space of understanding that it is not weak to ask for help.  It is strength to allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
5. What is a lack of vulnerability costing you? What is it costing you to not show up and be yourself? What opportunities are you missing that are out there for you?
6. When you learn to take Radical Responsibility for yourself you will be embracing vulnerability to build the connections with the people meant to be in your life.
