Vulnerability is our most accurate way to measure courage

Both are by Brene Brown

I wrote this piece on 20 Mar 2021; it popped up and I felt compelled to share (again).

.

Today is as good as any day to embrace vulnerability.

I know that there are days regardless our impeccable affirmation and gratitude practices, we just feel the world crumbling down.

I know that there are days regardless our growth mindset and optimism, we just feel the world crumbling down.

At this very moment,

We no longer believe that this time we are going to get out of it.

We no longer believe that we are enough and loved so much.

We no longer believe that we are strong and resourceful.

We simply don’t have the strength to hold it together.

The tears of laughter if we are not careful turn into cries.

The loneliness caves in so quickly from no where.

With last grit, we continue showing up.

With last grit each second, we continue showing up.

The shattered world is our secret and ours alone. We continue showing up.

I know and I understand, it’s an impossible moment and we don’t feel like being strong but we continue showing up.

It’s ok.

Acknowledge the sorrow.

Acknowledge the anger.

Acknowledge the loneliness.

Acknowledge the emptiness.

Acknowledge the bitterness.

And continue showing up.

For that we love our lives that much we can’t not show up.

Acknowledge the vulnerability which allegedly make you weak and unsuccessful.

For we love life this much, in vulnerability, we come out and we will come out even brighter and stronger.

For we love life this much, in vulnerability, we find courage.

My journey with the most vulnerable part of self continues. I had denied its rightful space in my life for most of my adulthood because what how the society labels it; yet, only through allowing and accepting, I realized that its where most of my superpower came from.

For most people, I came across strong, brave and even invincible. Truth be told, I am all of them and at the same time, none of them.

There were times I was completely shattered and I wished not needing to show up anymore. I cried alone and nursed the wounds alone.

Then, I recalled when I was 23 in the darkest time in my life, I decided to choose life.

Yes, I love life, not just mine, this much.

I truly believe that we could nurse and nurture a very different world if we could come and show up from this tender place in ourselves.

With everything going on in the world now, I wonder, what if the condition of showing power to proof and dominate can fade away and a new frame of embracing our fragile humanness and be together.
