Why I’d Rather Be Vulnerable with People Than Pretend I’m Perfect - Tiny Buddha

“Give up being perfect, for being authentic. Give up the need to be perfect, for the opportunity to be authentic. Be who you are. Love who you are. Others will too.” ~Hal Elrod

Having the ability to talk about our flaws, what’s going wrong in our lives and where we’re getting stuck, is a huge part of human evolution that we often forget about. If we don’t have an environment to talk about our vulnerabilities, the wounds never get a chance to heal.

When you choose the illusion of perfection over vulnerability, you become a stunted version of who you’re capable of becoming.
