rt wolf.. thanks for posting this video. I've watched it a few times and it really got me thinking.
When he talks about vulnerability being a desirable precondition of existence.. I never thought of it that way. I never thought of vulnerability as necessary and desirable, I thought of it as something to avoid, even though I knew to step out of my comfort zone. I guess it was just a subconscious belief I had, I had to sort out that conflict between the two.
I thought being strong was the opposite of vulnerability, when really its the willingness to be vulnerable that makes you strong. When your learning from your comfort zone you can get arrogant, without even recognising it. So you've got to push your limits, that lets you appreciate them and that appreciation keeps you humble and grounded. Don't know why I never seen that before, especially because alot of my favourite writers in personal development say exactly that, I guess we can only learn the lessons when we're ready.
Don't know what I'm goin to do exactly but I'm planning on taking some risks to get back on my feet. I'm still looking for work but in my situation, I don't think thats going to happen anytime soon. I'm looking into doing some volunteer work to keep busy, at least until some paid work comes up, might as well make myself useful. Its not something I would have done before so it should be an experience. I know making this post'll probably leave me vulnerable to criticism, but.... thats life, thats what all the people say
