The birthplace of joy and creativity
I just watched an amazing 15 minute message by Brene Brown about the importance of human vulnerability. Brene is a professor of social work so she knows a thing or two about human connectedness and interaction.
This short talk was one of those jaw-on-the-floor, life-changing, "a-ha moment" times in life when you know someone is giving you a pearl of wisdom that you need to apply in order to experience a new reality.
In it she discusses the importance of human vulnerability calling it the "birthplace of joy, creativity and connection". She also discusses how we ALL numb ourselves to vulnerability because it can produce negative experiences like heartache, rejection and pain - but in the process we also numb ourselves to positive experiences like joy and love and friendship.
We can't selectively numb. When we numb those tough experiences and emotions, we also numb joy and happiness and gratitude. We numb ... everything.
I wanna encourage you to take 15 minutes of your day to listen to the message by clicking here. Then I want to encourage you to subscribe to Brene's blog for more great insights into human connection.
