Vulnerability

We're all wired differently. Yesterday a woman told me she had anxiety every time she comes to the gym by herself. Even if there are only a few people in the place. She nervously laughed about it - knowing that no one at the gym is judging her. Especially in Gunbarrel. It's not that sort of gym.

Yet we still hesitate to do things that are outside of our comfort zones.

Why is that? Why do we shy away from vulnerability?

I rarely have fear doing something on my own. Going to the gym, riding solo, going to a party alone, spending time with myself - no problem. But getting my thoughts and words out into the world? Petrified.

Often our greatest work is in that space between comfort and vulnerability. Dare to be great.
