Vulnerability requires courage because it exposes your emotions to a degree of uncertainty. We willingly accept the emotional risk by becoming open to giving and receiving love. Benefits derived from the strength of vulnerability are a sense of belonging, trust, and empathy. 

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”  ~Lao Tzu

Ask yourself these questions:

1. Am I nurturing my mental, spiritual and physical health?
2. Are my short-term actions aligned with my long-term goals?
3. If I had one day of life to live what would I do? How would I spend it?
4. What are my personal core values?

Every day you get to redefine yourself.  It is a conscious and intentional choice, which has you follow through purposefully. It is never to late to dream a new dream. You can achieve it, if you believe it.
