Vulnerability gets a bad rap because many of us live our lives in fear of being seen for who we really are.

We have been conditioned to feel not good enough or worthy enough or … whatever enough.

And so, we spend a lot of time trying to fit in. Whether it’s in a work situation, with our friends and even our family.

"Fitting in" lends to an image of manipulating ourselves

We form beliefs around our perceptions of life and whether or not we feel these needs have been met. Our beliefs then fuel our actions.

For example, if we hold a belief that no one wants to hear what we have to say then our confidence level may be at rock bottom.

Limiting beliefs are one of the obstructions that cause you to stay stuck where you are and unable to move forward into the next step of reaching your full potential.
