Today I heard myself explaining to a client that vulnerability is not synonymous with weakness.  That it takes great strength to be vulnerable.  Those who are weak dare not drop the suit of armor they wear, the wall they keep around themselves as they live their lives. Being vulnerable requires courage, being authentic, daring to risk, being completely approachable; there’s no weakness involved in any of these. Being vulnerable is the ability to give your heart away, and receive back in kind.
