The Strength in Vulnerability

We live in a world that values strength and self-sufficiency. Showing weakness is frowned upon as it reveals vulnerability. However, being vulnerable also demonstrates inner strength.

No Mud, No Lotus

To share our weaknesses and struggles is to open ourselves up emotionally. It takes courage to present our authentic selves, imperfections and all. Admitting shortcomings requires confidence to stand honestly in our truth.

Love as a verb, not a noun

When we reveal we are not perfect, we forge heartfelt connections with others. Vulnerability breeds empathy and compassion. We realize we are more alike than different. There is comfort in knowing we are not alone in our suffering.
