Being Vulnerable

 
We viewed this movie titled " The Power of Vulnerability" in today's class and I thought this was the most insightful Video. This is what i took away from watching the movie.

Connection is why we are here. We as humans connect with everything around us on a daily basis. We have connection to technology, lovers, family, hair, and everything else. It's through connection that we get feelings e.g. When people as each other about love they will most likely always receive answers about heartbreak... So that connection between love and heartache is pretty important to most of us. Then Brene Brown goes on to talk about Shame and how shame (often parallel to excruciating vulnerability) is a fear of disconnection. No one wants to be disconnected, nor do we want to feel shameful.

Being vulnerable means being willing to say I love you first, invest in a relationship that may or may not work out, and step out of your comfort zone even if you feel like crying. Vulnerability is often the birthplace of love, joy, and belonging. Those of us who struggle with allowing ourselves to become vulnerable should know that you aren't alone.

It's funny because we live in this vulnerable world, yet we are numb to being vulnerable and happy. So we need to start to love with our whole hearts, Say you're grateful, believe that you're enough and realize that being vulnerable, although it may seem scary, it is a necessary part of this world. I loved this video!
