Lesson # 2 Embrace the art of vulnerability as a spiritual practice

We are defined by our exposure to life’s experiences. Resistance lessens our availability to the world. By accepting and embracing our vulnerabilities we allow ourselves to grow.  

I have found the most positive change in myself has come from merely existing during a profoundly depressed period in my life. I wanted nothing more than to escape seemingly permanent pain. During the loneliest and most frightening time in my life, I naturally turned to friends and family for help. I slowly began to realize that if I was going to move forward, I would need to look within for comfort and strength. The ultimate vulnerability: faith in oneself. Sooner than I thought possible, I was feeding on my vulnerability. Scary to think what might have happened had I truly given up. Instead, I turned weakness into the building blocks of newly found confidence, love and appreciation of life. My life.
