The moment someone asks you to do something you don't have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you've got all the answers, then don't call what you do 'faith.'

Live-tweeting your bikini wax is not vulnerability. Nor is posting a blow-by-blow of your divorce . That's an attempt to hot-wire connection. But you can't cheat real connection. It's built up slowly. It's about trust and time.

Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.

When you stop caring what people think, you lose your capacity for connection. When you're defined by it, you lose our capacity for vulnerability.
