Grateful for the reminder of the power of vulnerability. The longish (20 min) video, is Brene’ Brown’s TED Talk of her multi-year research on vulnerability. Its not just her delivering findings over a powerpoint. The real impact of the presentation is from her sharing own vulnerability.
I have struggled tremendously in the past two years with feeling like I’m not worthy. With as much positive reinforcement as I’ve had when being ‘vulnerable’ in that timeframe, one would think it would get easier to be vulnerable. It has not. For me. Intellectually I see the value. Need to keep moving forward.
At the end of the TED Talk video referenced above, there’s an image of a womam’s chest with the words “I am enough” written in sharpie on her skin. Powerful. Moving. Resonating. What will it take for me to believe that? How do I balance ‘being enough’ on one hand with striving to be a better person on the other?
