Excerpt from Chapter 2: Debunking Vulnerability Myths

Myth #1: Vulnerability is Weakness

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way our of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people don't just happen. Elisabeth Kueber Ross

"We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known." ~Unknown

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody but yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. 'Staying real' is one of the most courageous battles we will ever fight." EE Cummings
