If You Want To Embrace Vulnerability, Don’t Ignore These Quotes

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes

According to Lewis Howes, ‘Taking off that mask to show vulnerability is one thing, but when you do it to show the world who you really are, that is something else entirely. That is true strength.’

‘We are driven by our beliefs– the problem is that many of our beliefs at all. They’re faulty assumptions built on fear that get baked into culture because we’re even more afraid of addressing them than we are of addressing the fear that created them.’

‘What you are supressing is creating disease. Disease of the heart, the mind, and the soul. You need to clear this by exposing what you’re covering up to the light of openness, honesty, and vulnerability.’

‘Shame and uncertainty are only a few short steps away from depression and anxiety. Separately or together, those emotions can drive you to the brink. They can blot out everything else in your life and literally make you carzy.’

‘We’re all going to do different things with our money. We’re all going to have different numbers that we aspire to reach. But at the end of the day, if you think that amount of money will make you accepted by other people, or will get you friends, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons and you are fooling yourself.’

‘You cannot purchase connection. And your net worth will never create self-worth, no matter how much the two might seem to be related.’

‘What we need to realize is that we are valuable, regardless of what we have. We need to recognize that, while living behind the Material Mask, there will never be such a thing as ‘enough’ when it comes to a sufficient sense of self-worth as a man.’

‘Live in gratitude. Someone who is grateful for what he has, no matter how little it is, will be more open tom living a joyful life.’

‘We are all gifts. When you see someone filled with love and joy, it is contagious. It doesn’t matter how much money they have; what matters is how they show up in the world.’

‘Having a sense of humor is not a bad thing, but there’s a time and a place for everything. When you’re using humor as an avoidance tool, it becomes detrimental. When you’re using it to add fun and joy to a situation, it works.’

Appreciate more to get more. Life is about appreciation. If you want to enjoy more things, you must first enjoy what you have.

Then more will come to you. According to Daniel Chidiac, ‘A wise man never dwells on what he doesn’t have. He remains in constant appreciation of what he has already, whilst being in pursuit of what he wants.’

What you have is yours. You can do something about it. What you do not have is not yours. And you cannot do anything about it. So why worry yourself?

‘The most important things in life deserve nothing less than constant remembers.’

Whatever it is that you are going through in your life, don’t forget to celebrate your uniqueness.

‘Appreciation is the key to letting your spirit take over your life.’

Appreciation is everything. To get more, appreciate what God has done for you. The fact that you are alive, it is a blessing. Don’t take it for granted. You must celebrate it!

‘When we complain, we become the victim. When we are the victim, we don’t get what we want in life, we get more of what we don’t want.’

Don’t complain. It is not going to make your life better. In fact, it is going to keep you where you are. If you want to see happiness in your life, you must embrace gratitude.

‘When you appreciate something, you don’t abuse it. Learn to appreciate all that is life.’

Whatever you have, no matter how small, do not ignore it. Remember, what you do not take care of, it is not yours. You must let it go.

‘If you want to have an extraordinary life, you must be addicted to life.’

Simple. To get more, you must give more. To have an extraordinary life, you have got to let go of an ordinary life.

‘Whatever I do today, I will commit to doing it with love and in happiness. As challenging as it may be, I will not allow anything to overpower my great emotions, and I will get through it.’

Every day is a new day for you to show your best work. If you want to get ahead, you do not need to be talented. But you have got to work harder than other people. You must work harder than your yesterday’s self.

‘Only those few who take action get the results that everyone else dreams about.’ If you want something, talking about it is not going to make it happen. If you really want it, you must take action to make it happen.

‘Time is our most precious commodity. If you’re not using it wisely, you’re wasting it ignorantly.’

Don’t waste your time. Focus on what is most important to you in your life. Know the difference between what is urgent and what is important.

As always, you are more, not less!
