Vulnerability is what makes us unique beings

Vulnerability is what makes us unique beings

By recognizing our weaknesses we accept our human condition.Ā However, many times we insist on hiding everything that makes us feel weak and notĀ wanting to admit it, and this makes us presentĀ ourselves to others as not being authentic.

Somehow in our culture there is a pattern of behavior that leads us to hide our weaknesses. Where we alsoĀ have to pretend and believe that we must strive to be the best.

The pressure to be "the best"

When we perform our daily roles, both professionally and personally, we propose that we always have to be the best no matter what.Ā 

This belief is the daily life of many people who live withĀ the illusion that their lives consist of having to be the best at what they consider important. But reality puts us all in our place , bringing to lightĀ our limitations, and our difficulties, in light ofĀ circumstances that are constantly changing over whichĀ we have no control.

Authenticity

By beginning toĀ accept our vulnerability, we find ourselves . And so we access our authenticity, and in doing so, facilitate a connection with others.

By acceptingĀ our difficulties without fear of being rejected, without fear of exposing ourselves to seem weak,Ā we take off the masks we often use .

ā€œAccepting our vulnerability rather than trying to hide it is the best way to adapt to reality.ā€
