Imagine your emotional capacity like a muscle. The more you exercise it, like lifting weights, the stronger and more resilient it becomes.

Vulnerability leads to openness, authenticity, and the willingness to embrace and express your true self, including weaknesses and imperfections.

Humility is the mindset that allows you to be vulnerable, and vulnerability is the act of expressing that humility.

Humility as the Foundation:

Humility- Comes Latin-Humus-rich or fertile-

I have practiced Judo almost my entire life, and  we bow to each other because we acknowledge each other, I bow to you because I respect myself first. So, I see you.

It is tricky nowadays because in some circles people confuse it lack self-confidence, while actually it is the opposite because you know your superpower- you know your kryptonite at the same time. And everyone has kryptonite.

Now after you understand and are grounded in humility- you can clearly see that.

Vulnerability is the Expression of Opening Up because it is the act of expressing your limitations, fears, or even successes in a genuine way which requires a sense of humility to be willing to expose yourself this way.

Together Humility and Vulnerability Foster Growth.
