There is no act of courage that didn’t begin with a sense of vulnerability.
And intentional vulnerability is courageous.
Especially if you’ve been hurt before when you tried.
It can also be helpful to start small. Be vulnerable in small things and see how it’s handled by those you are being vulnerable with.
These small steps and how our vulnerability is handled is also how people can rebuild trust with us, or us with them.
And trust is one pillar that holds our entire homes up.
The more we build it through courage, vulnerability, and trust, the stronger we’ll be.
