From Behind Our Shadows

"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation,

creativity, and change."

Brene Brown

As we unfold into an environment of criticism, it is not very likely that we will be eager to allow ourselves to step out from behind our shadows. When we feel a surge of power, we may choose to utter a few of our ideas, but when we are met with judgment, withdrawal commences.

If we develop relationships with trust and acceptance, we will begin to build a bridge where each person can cross over to the opposite side learning of differences, visions, and unique creativity.  This kind of union offers strength derived from listening and supporting.

Individuals tend to hide their creative side.  They may not see the magic in it as easily as an outsider would.  Why is there a reluctance to keep secret our best creative quality?  By allowing self worthiness to win out over fear, jealousy or small thinking, we learn to embrace vulnerability and succeed.
