Nourishing the ability to fully feel and unapologetically express your thoughts, emotions, values and even fears are hallmarks of stepping boldly towards a more vulnerable lifestyle. The beauty in this is rests in authenticity, in this idea that you can be fully you, the good , the bad, and the imperfect without fear of reprisal or need for outside validation. In essence, you come to recognize that you alone are the source of self actualization, internal peace, and security.

This in turn allows for deeper and more honest, and more emotionally direct relationships with those who play pivotal roles throughout your life. You also open yourself up to things which may be challenging, but also to things that may be extremely rewarding. But will you take the chance?

The question then becomes are you striving towards a more authentic and vulnerable you? Are you seated fully within yourself, bringing awareness to all you think and feel, or do you cast the more undesirable parts of yourself aside to try and focus only on what feels good in the moment? Are you tip toeing in and out of important conversations where your voice needs to be heard and your positions fully understood or are you reducing yourself and the power of your experiences to fit the mold and preserve the status quo?

The choice is always yours but a more fulfilling life with powerful connections and relationships is waiting on the real you. It is waiting on all of you.
