Vulnerability

Introducing vulnerability into your life will certainly spark conflicting emotions. But let us explore the opportunity cost. 

Opportunity cost is typically an economic term but it can apply to all aspects of life. By definition via google, Opportunity cost is the profit lost when one alternative is selected over another. We all fear when taking certain chances, what will be lost? The “what ifs” begin to ramble though the mind. 

First, find the beauty in having choices, recognize that in certain situations, options weren’t available. But here in the now, you are able to make a sound choice for yourself. 

Accept the openness it will take to welcome vulnerability. Dive into the gain that is inevitable from making a vulnerable decision. When you choose to be vulnerable, you honor yourself and feed the seed inside you that seldom receives the attention it deserves. What is truly lost when you don’t honor your feelings?

When we are able to fully express ourselves, something beautiful happens. We break down the barriers that have been built up through past experiences over a long duration. Here in the now we can be the purest authentic versions of ourselves.

With that being said, we may not always get the response we are hoping for through practicing vulnerability from external factors; however, you will always get the benefit of the higher opportunity cost. This will be more valuable to your personal growth and pay dividends. 

Please remember you are worth it, you are worth the risk of feeling.  Being brave is as simple as committing to yourself. Truth be told, it is much easier to run away, falsify feelings and move on. But is that who you want to be? Is that how you want to live? This is your fabulous life, live it and feel it.
