Trying new things
Hello everyone!
This semester, as most of you know, we have been reading the book Daring Greatly by Brené Brown in class. So far, I really enjoy reading it. She covers interesting topics and the way she narrates the book is not boring or dry. One of the things that so far has stuck out to me is her discussion on vulnerability. She points out that while society mostly believes that being vulnerable is a sign of weakness, not being vulnerable is actually what makes one weak. Because someone is scared of being vulnerable or of embarrassing themselves, they don't take risks or look for opportunities that put them out of their comfort zone, and could actually miss out on a lot of things that they would otherwise have if they didn't view vulnerability as a weakness.
I have noticed that I, like most people, tend to limit myself because of fear of not being good enough for something or fear of making myself vulnerable. I am also a pretty introverted person, and tend to keep to myself more when I should probably be more out and trying new things. So, this semester, I am trying to give myself the opportunity to try new things. Mostly I am doing this by applying to things, such as programs or jobs. I'm not gonna lie, I've gotten a few rejections so far, but honestly it didn't feel as bad as I thought it would. I think right now I'm more surprised that I actually applied to those things, so I'm trying to take advantage of that!

I have seen her TED Talk in my communication class last semester and it was very eye opening. I should read that book too. I am proud that you take rejection and failure less to heart. Being vulnerable is a very powerful thing. To be able to feel so much, being able to express it, and not be afraid of your emotions is a very powerful thing that I believe we should all do.
