Some may say that people who feel deeply are weak! I felt that for much of my life! At the time I thought it was because other people thought I was weak.

I was wrong!

Whether people thought that of me or not, is irrelevant. The way we see ourselves is where enduring weakness, or STRENGTH is found. Today I realize my “weakness” was fueled by my own crippling insecurity.

In order to overcome my insecurities, I had to step out and step away from the lies that imprisoned me. It’s ironic that my pursuit of freedom leads me to the very thing that had also held me bound.

You see, vulnerability is just that! Vulnerability leaves us open to attack. It is by definition, “the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.”

Vulnerability is perhaps the greatest act of courage! And what is courage? Nelson Mandala said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear”.

Be brave strong soul…you got this!
