The definition of vulnerable is \u201csusceptible to physical or emotional attack on harm.\u201d<\/p>\n
DISCLAIMER: no one was physically attacked or harmed during the writing of this post.<\/p>\n
Who wants to be vulnerable? No one! No one in their right mind wants to knowingly make themselves susceptible to any kind of attack or harm.<\/p>\n
BUT\u2026 living a life of small magic means you do.<\/p>\n
First, let\u2019s address why you\u2019d even consider a life of small magic.
\nAsk yourself these questions:
\n1) Am I happy?
\n2) Am I satisfied with the world today?
\n3) Do I want to be a part of positively affecting my community?
\n4) Can I easily explain the process of making a proper peanut butter and jelly sandwich?<\/p>\n
If you answered \u201cNO\u201d to one or two, or \u201cYES\u201d to three, then keep reading. Regardless of your answer to number four, watch this video because it\u2019s funny and laughing is always a good thing.<\/p>\n
Great \u2013 so you\u2019re still reading, right?<\/p>\n
OK, so why is vulnerability small magic?
\nHere\u2019s why:
\nSmall magic is all about connecting, taking chances when you\u2019re not sure of the outcome. It\u2019s about reaching out to people you don\u2019t know and attempting to find common ground. It\u2019s about making a small change, that wall small, it\u2019s still new and outside of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n
You may think \u201cI\u2019m comfortable where I am.\u201d BUT remember those questions you answered\u2026 Yeaaaaahh\u2026<\/p>\n
Without vulnerability, there is no magic, no growth, no connection.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re still reading so I know that isn\u2019t good enough for you.<\/p>\n
Try new things! What\u2019s the worst that could happen? You fail? Big deal! Thomas Edison field 10,000 times before he got electricity right. Would you be good without electricity right now? People called him crazy. How\u2019s that for vulnerability? He didn\u2019t care because he KNEW he could do it and the pay off is way better than playing it safe.<\/p>\n
SO\u2026 go be an Edison, take chances, be vulnerable, perform small magic.<\/p>\n
Oh, and every time you use electricity, you\u2019ll remember this post. I got that going for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
