Sounds like an oxymoron right. But then doesn’t growth does start from the lowest inflection point on the curve. Learning to give a positive spin to your gullible side is like making lemonade out of the sour lemons handed to you.
We were all taught to toughen up and put up a brave face, no matter what. In doing so, we don an armour of self-defence until it becomes second nature. This takes away from being able to face one’s weaknesses. Yet being on a journey of acknowledging your vulnerabilities is very fulfilling. Yes it is rare, yes it is extremely painful and facing one’s deepest emotions isn’t for the faint hearted. Just like an onion, opening up one’s wounds layer by layer and reliving the emotional roller-coaster is scary as hell. Afterall being in the company of one’s emotions, bare and raw, is scathing to say the least.
The journey comes with its own set of rewards too. A deeper understaning of oneself paves way for an enhanced coping mechanism. Not just that, with a better regulated nervous system you start being more aware of your feelings which helps maintain calm in chaos.
