Vulnerability- As a way of life
Spending our lives waiting until we're perfect to go through a situation or jump into a venture means sacrificing our relationships and opportunities that may come to our way by our own will.
By doing so,we turn our backs on our gifts, those unique contributions that only we can make.
perfect or bulletproof is illusionary and doesn't exist in the human experience.
'To dare greatly' or to make vulnerability a way of our life, we must make a decision to show up and let ourselves be seen - with courage & the willingness to engage.
It may be scary but it'll change the way we live our life.

From people showing importance of their lives on Facebook to kids preoccupied with their own selves.
Are we surrounded by narcissists?
The topic of narcissism has penetrated the social consciousness enough that most people associate it with a pattern of behaviours that include pervasive need for admiration and a lack of empathy.
What almost no one understands is its cause which is shame.

'Shame' is the real cause
Looking at narcissists through the lens of vulnerability - it can be seen that shame-based fear of being ordinary is the root cause.
- Fear of never feeling extraordinary enough to be noticed.
- To be lovable
- To belong
- Or to cultivate a sense of purpose.
What everyone is calling a narcissism epidemic is actually a culture of scarcity and fear of being ordinary is a part of it where celebrity culture yardstick can be easily used to measure the smallness of our lives.
