RE: Vulnerability - The Key to True Connection

Wow, that's beautiful and powerful!

Most of us are so afraid, and so afraid of letting anyone see that we are so afraid. Of so many things.

I see this, and it brings me back to years of study and learning how to live as a Human BE-ing, not a Human DO-ing or Human HAVE-ing... and yet I still have fear; fear because we live in a world that declares human BE-ings "slackers" and human "DO-ings" success stories, and that success story is measured by how much of a Human HAVE-ing you've managed to be.

Beautiful message, and you have a new follower!

Thank you, @denmarkguy!
The exploration of what exactly our definition of success is, is one of the most important answers to find in our lives.

Most of us live according to other people's definitions of success (our parents' definition for example). But once we truly figured out our own, all that having- and doing- stuff doesn't matter anymore, I find. And what matters even less, is other people's opinion.
