My experience is -
that it is a great
stride
in personal development
when we reach a position of
believing
that it is OK
to feel
vulnerable,
be open about
vulnerability
and accept that
vulnerability
is a strength and not a weakness.
My personal journey into this area
has included several events
in which I felt extreme vulnerability.
I have never suffered a nervous breakdown
never suffered from depression
(I feel deeply for those who have)
but I have had the equivalent of a credit crunch
- emotionally.
I have lived and experienced extreme fear.
I have been in many unmanageable violent situations.
I have had to change my style of leadership
- u turn indeed,
and have had a heart transplant
in theological terms.
It is all about
mask stuff.
If we feel vulnerable
and pretend we don't
- We are painting on the make-up,
fashion styling
and
dressing up in a mask.
I understand and feel deeply for all in this.
Some humans are so emotionally fragile
that they have to keep a public face for survival.
So many have said to me
"Pip - I want to take the Red Pill
(adventure, risk, on the edge)
but at the moment
I need to take the Blue Pill
(Safe, secure, no risk, routine)
because I am so vulnerable".
For the rest of us,
who yearn for wholeness,
development for self
others around us
and beyond beyond
into a much wider world .......
.......there is growth out there,
in
Vulnerableville.
Moving on from this.
We can have VULNERABILITY
thrust upon us.
also
we can choose
VULNERABILITY
I journey here regularly
because
"Growth does not reside in a place called comfortable"
and
'He who was rich, became poor.
