"I want to experience your vulnerability but I don’t want to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is courage in you and inadequacy in me. I’m drawn to your vulnerability but repelled by mine." - Brene Brown (Daring Greatly)

The quote at the top from Brene Brown's book, Daring Greatly sums up what so many of us experience. There is delight when we see others exposing the truth of their fears and validating our own doubts and anxieties. It looks like great courage and feels like something to be celebrated.

Yet, when it's our turn or opportunity to do the same it feels like a flaw, inadequacy, weakness.

How can we close this gap and begin to see our own vulnerability as courage that will unlock the doors for great things?
