Vulnerability

http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html

This video talks about the idea of vulnerability being a window into becoming a honest mature person with yourself and with the others.

Opening yourself up to the idea that you are not only not perfect, but that can and should embrace your vulnerabilities in order to grab at those pesky emotions of joy and happiness.

Only through allowing ourselves to be seen for who and what we are, are we free to be ourselves.

One of the really great things that she said during this and showed in the clips is that when you do not allow yourself to feel shame, vulnerability, or sadness, or fear, you shut off your ability to feel joy and happiness as well.
