There is no courage without risk and there is nothing greater than the risk of vulnerability.  Displaying our vulnerability to ourselves let alone others requires immense courage and bravery, unfortunately often more than many of us feel that we have in ourselves to do.  But do we must.  We must find a way to come face to face with our vulnerabilities and the demons we think they are.  For on the other side is our greatest self and our biggest lives.  The future and our life belongs to those who dare.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.  Brené Brown

What happens when people open their hearts?  They get better.  Haruki Murakami

Courage is found in unlikely places.  J.R.R. Tolkien
