The Power of Vulnerability

by Brene Brown 

 

To be vulnerable is to see all of me 

And to be open to 

The possibility of 

Authenticity 

The courage to love me 

And ask for what I need 

With no certainty 

And holding my own 

Hand with accountability 

Of boundaries that 

I Set to let go of 

Who I think you need me to be 

And the ingredients include 

Courage, compassion, connection 

And the nest is acceptance 

Of all of me Shame and guilt 

Must be looked at 

With severe honesty in 

Owning my story 

Trusting my spirit solely 

Letting go of shoulds and pushing 

Practicing gratitude into a 

Shifting of joy that 

Doesn't exclude fear or sadness 

But delivers the need for 

Certainty turned into faith 

And in the calm and still place 

Don't forget to play 

God brought us each here 

With a gift to create today
