Vulnerability is not weakness, it is the first step to become prepared

Difficult times come and go and each new experience, is, life that most of us want to make worth living. Succeeding in every new venture is not always possible unless you plan and prepare for the most unprecedented circumstances that come from negligent behaviors both yours and theirs.

Accidents happen when you lose the guard, your intuition to correct vibes emanating from your immediate environment may not help you avoid mishaps because ultimately you cannot control others, you can only control yourself.

But before preventing any accident, one needs preparation, and before that a risk taking vulnerable behavior which states “ I want this, and I shall work towards it under all circumstances”.

To me, if you are vulnerable, you shall compose yourself in that peak state where you utilize resources, work hard, explore operating options, discuss and communicate to seek guidance. Once you are prepared, your small or big success is inevitable.

I have seen and met people around who have an aim, or motive. But very few of them are vulnerable and strong in taking their stand and make things happen. I speak of vulnerability because it is the best kind of motivation, it is an initial disintegration to collect yourself and prepare according to your past and present resources, experiences and environment which ultimately shapes future. It adds to it some sort of stubbornness so that you stick to your motive and never get swayed. This is a path full of obstacles but if someone really really wants to prepare himself to embark upon his kind of life’s journey, there would be many obstacles as no man is an island, so think, build a strategy, train and retrain yourself continuously every second of your day to achieve what you want to.

What one wants to achieve is very much personal, and the good in you prevents you to seize the opportunity because most of us as children were taught to be complacent, loving and fear causing harm to others. As we grow up we realize that we cannot be good, we need to be a professional at work, and that work we always hope helps us to build up life’s goal for our kind of privileged people, and certainly not the deprived.

Wherever, however we are as tiny, infinitesimally small objects on this Earth, have experienced the power of vulnerability. We need to exploit it and use it to suit our needs in our own special circumstances, even the deprived.

So, that is the risk which one must take to achieve what we want to achieve both small or big. Through properly channelizing your commitment for nothing so easy, we can succeed. There is nothing wrong to have a nervous breakdown in life because it makes us vulnerable to not let go, hold it for a while to prepare and succeed.
