Be willing to be vulnerable to experience true joy from "summary" of Daring Greatly by Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not weakness; it is our most accurate measure of courage. When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. We cannot selectively numb emotions; when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions. In order to experience true joy, we must be willing to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is at the core of all emotions - the emotions that we want to feel and the ones that we try to avoid. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We can form deeper connections with others, cultivate empathy, and live wholeheartedly. Vulnerability is essential for creativity, innovation, and change. It is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. When we are willing to be vulnerable, we give ourselves permission to be authentic. We can let go of the need to be perfect and embrace our imperfections. Vulnerability allows us to show up as our true selves, without the fear of judgment or rejection. It is the key to living a wholehearted life, where we can experience joy, love, and belonging. True joy comes from being open and vulnerable, from allowing ourselves to be seen and known. It requires us to take off the armor that we have built up to protect ourselves from pain. When we are willing to be vulnerable, we can experience life in its fullest capacity. We can connect with others on a deeper level, experience empathy and compassion, and find true fulfillment. In order to experience true joy, we must embrace vulnerability. It is the pathway to living a wholehearted life, where we can cultivate authentic connections and find meaning and purpose. When we are willing to be vulnerable, we open ourselves up to the beauty and joy that life has to offer.
