Being Vulnerable

Vulnerability and authenticity is something I would like to think comes fairly natural to me. It feels that way and I’ve been told so a few times. Not because I necessarily like how it feels, but because I have always known deep down that it is the only path to real relationship. People hate fake. In fact, I have always said that it takes way more energy to upkeep a false image than a real one. The former requires you to act. The latter requires you to BE.

While I could say much more about this, allow me to direct you to a 20 minute TED talk that may very possibly be best talk on this topic that I have ever heard (thanks to my friend Dave for sending to to me). Check this out. It is worth your time.
