Another Moment of Inspiration

In recent weeks, I have been having some trouble posting with the frequency I once showed. As such, I have made it a point to jot down anything of substance as soon as it blesses me with a sense of clarity. I thought that I would share a quote that came to me after answering this thought provoking question from one of my best friends:

“If vulnerabilities make me fragile, why let myself be vulnerable?”

To this, I answered with the following: Being vulnerable isn’t always bad. Vulnerabilities are inevitable. It is part of the human experience where perfection is the golden idea, however, it is unattainable. Being human is beautiful and difficult at the same time.

“Your strength is not best demonstrated from denying that you are vulnerable…Your strength comes from being bold despite your vulnerability.” – Aurie

I hope this blesses someone. Remember that you are blessed to be a blessing.

    Correction is in order, yin should be ying.

    I never saw it that way, but once again…I learned something new. It is just like this book that I read called the “Serving Leader.” It seems counter-intuitive, but yet still very effective.
