Vulnerability

To risk loving at all is courageous vulnerability. It means I am in 'the ring'. I am willing to fail, knowing I WILL fail but that is the only way to truly live.
I may have reached a plateau in some areas of my growth but that doesn't mean I'm not still moving forward. even though it doesn't seem like upward movement, I'm moving towards a goal courageously. There is always room for improvement but I don't have to beat myself up for that. It's good to have room to improve, it's also good to praise my successes.
