Vulnerability


Vulnerability is an amazing place to be. Is it a nice place? Not at all. But it is a choice place.

It is a place where you can choose to hide under a rock, or a place where you can stand on the mountain top and declare,  ‘I may be vulnerable. I may be on my last legs. Opportunity may seem to be avoiding me at every turn, but I choose to stand up in my nakedness, stripped of all pride and potential, in the eyes of others, and yet I hold on to a number of assets that to me are worth millions: character, integrity, talents, gifts, ideas, and of course my dream.’

For vulnerability plus a dream speaks of one thing and one thing only: possibility.

Everything can be taken from you, but when you still hold on to the dream, you are clothed in the power to overcome all obstacles and to scale all opposition until you break through the winning tape with your chest.

Vulnerability  – the moment in time where the spirit of the victor is given the privilege and the opportunity to rise above and to go beyond.

Vulnerability is the place of creativity and the birthplace of champions.
