The Power Of Vulnerability

To be vulnerable is to have the courage to show your emotions, is to have the courage to get rejected. To tell people when you are down, when you are sick, and to trust people with your feelings. To get out there in any way possible even if you could get rejected, this example could be for a job, it could be for a date it could be anything. The boldness to be not perfect. To be vulnerable is to love yourself and accept all of your faults so you can love other people and accept them for who they are. It is to be fearful and feel it and let go of that feeling, for example, to be scared of your test results or the application for your job. If people want to be vulnerable they have to handle all of these feelings they have, to be brave enough to feel and not let the feeling get to them because that's what life is all about. Our whole lives revolve around our fear and shamefulness. Contrary to that they revolve around love, happiness, and originality; to feel both sides of the spectrum you have to be vulnerable. 

The topic of venerability is an influential topic to share since not embracing vulnerability can hold back a person. Lots of people could relate to this since she feels uncomfortable with the idea of letting go. I think it takes a lot of time and understating for a person to embrace all of his or her feelings with no fear of what might come. In these situations, someone may try to find any way to shy from their emotions via being numb so he or she could ignore their feelings by distracting themselves or play it off like it's okay and it never really affected them. Other people could try to control the situation so they could accommodate it to be comfortable for themselves.

Understanding how that affects you and changing yourself takes a lot of wisdom and time. This time will come with hardship and challenges but you have to have discipline and not motivation. Why discipline you ask?  If you are disciplined you get to your goal whether you are motivated or not. Let me explain if you do all of your work regularly and one day you don't feel like it or you feel down and you are not motivated enough to finish your work. Do you think that you will reach your goal with that attitude? No, you won't because if you have discipline you will get your work done regardless of how you are feeling that day. Therefore you have to learn to push yourself to reach the point where you could embrace vulnerability. 

Furthermore, something I would like to work on is not being afraid to try something new or get out there more. I feel like my venerability holds me back from certain opportunities that I could reach. Along with me not embracing my feelings and pushing them away therefore they transfuse into other feelings which causes obstacles in my life. Normally when making decisions whether they are in my personal life or in school, I depend on logic. I tend to subside my emotions so they don't impact my decisions. For example, when choosing my career, at first, I looked at it from a logical perspective. What are the benefits? Is it a stable job? Will I be able to study for it? These are all questions I asked myself. However, the approach I took when thinking about my career choice was wrong, as I neglected my interests and what I truly enjoy doing. A job should not only have benefits but should align with my interests as well. Here, I should have seen what job I would be passionate about as well as making sure it is a good choice for my future. Thus, I need to balance my needs, emotions, and logic. In order to improve decision-making skills, one needs to be capable of accepting their vulnerability to an extent that it doesn’t negatively impact their life.
