Vulnerable & Failure aren't dirty words

I am not shy in sharing what life throws at me! It's one thing I pride myself on.

Most that know me know I NEVER do it for the poor me sympathy vote, thats just not how I am.

Why do I share?

In the era of social media we are bombarded with images of Strength, positive affirmations and the phenomenon I like to call "The Kath & Kim effect" Look at me! Look at me! We all put this front on as if everything is all butterflies and rainbows, but really its flies and dog shit for some.

Its something I am very conscious of and at times I am uncomfortable with putting things out on social media for this very reason. Its a fine line between showing off and whinging.

We have had instilled in us that you must be strong ALL the time to be able to be successful, happy and that failure ISN'T an option, that what social media portrays. That is just plain bullshit!!

I can guarantee that the most successful people have their moments behind closed doors, they have failed more times than they have had success. You just don't see those moments because they are too scared to be vulnerable for fear of judgement.

I say screw the haters! Be real, be ok with failure, be ok with being Vulnerable, be accepting. Fighting them is just going to make life that little more uncomfortable, letting go cause cause similar responses. Letting things flow is a far better option.

I will never be a poor me, for every bad situation that happens, there is always something positive about it. I know it infuriates people when I find the positive, but this allows me to move forward and learn.

The one comment I know that infuriates people when they complain about something thats happened is "than fuck its not cancer" or "lets celebrate the shit out of that"

It just a little perspective.

Yesterday was a crap day, it was a crap day for quite a lot of people, YES! I wasn't alone. I sat there in tears thinking. Wow that was a pretty rough draining day. I put my hand up and said ok you got this one. But! Im going to save my energy for the next round.

You need the crap to make the good shine bright!

Be ok with being vulnerable, for that is where your Brave will lay!

You will be a more balanced well rounded human
