The Power of Vulnerability



Brene Brown gave a moving speech on TED entitled "The Power of Vulnerability."  As a scientifically-minded woman, she explains how she began by looking for a way to eradicate vulnerability--which had me nodding along because who wouldn't like a world where you're not suspended by your inevitably vulnerable points?  Of course, Brene discovers that vulnerability is actually something we need, and she does it in such a compelling way that even I, a disbeliever, can see what she means.

Yet another thing to add to my resolutions...learn to accept that everyone is vulnerable.  And that by being vulnerable, we learn to free ourselves from a lot of our crazy fears.  How else can we grow?

It's time to TED it up--because Brene Brown speaks for me!
