CHAPTER

The Power of Vulnerability

"We can lead with vulnerability because it's the way we choose to operate," she says. "There doesn't have to be attachment that that person has to come around." Vulnerability is a superpower, but you do because it's who you are, not of what you get,. So letting go is a byproduct of the awareness that the thing you are attached to is not going to actually bring you happiness".

I had a thing recently where I had to deal with someone. Me and my team had to deal with someone and we were being open and vulnerable and hard opening like, hey, can we talk about this? And then someone says, no, I don't want to talk about this. There's nothing to talk about. And it's like, okay, we were trying to be vulnerable and somebody wasn't vulnerable back. But there doesn't have to be attachment that that person has to come around. That person has to understand. That person has to also want to open their heart. In fact, by not jumping... By not having the conversation, it showed us even more where it's like we don't even need to have the conversation. It spoke volumes. And funny enough, this situation that happened, it also happened in a different way with someone else where that was the same lesson. And what we realized is we can lead with vulnerability because it's the way we choose to operate. Vulnerability leaning into conversations that are sometimes uncomfortable because it's who we are. We are people that aren't afraid of having uncomfortable conversations. Especially when the intention is to open up your heart and to feel more connected. But if you have an attachment that other people have to get in, other people have to come around, then you can easily be let down. But realize you're not doing it for them. Sometimes they may not be able to come around. And that's okay. There's a grieving process that sometimes comes from relationships that just don't serve anymore. But vulnerability is a superpower. But vulnerability, you do because it's who you are. Not of what you get. So letting go is a byproduct of the awareness that the thing you are attached to is not going to actually bring you happiness. You just believe it is for a short period of time.
