The Power of Vulnerability

Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability | Video on TED.com

Someone told me to look up this talk. And I myself has been very interested in knowing about this the very first time I laid my eyes on the title.

Being vulnerable, maybe its the way to go. To not have to be perfect all the time, to not numb and neglect our feelings and pretend that they don't exist. To not have to be tough and suck it up, however hard and bitter it tastes. To not think that what we do don't affect others and what others do don't affect us.

Its not the coolest thing to do. Its not the brawnier nor the tougher thing to do. It certainly won't appear as heroic to others who read, talk and listen about us.

But it is the more human and easier thing to do. And what are our heroes but  human?

The hardest thing and the right thing is the same? Feel again.

Peace is fun
