I still care what people think. Authenticity requires that I own my introversion. Even if I am judged for it, that's ok because I freely admit it and even wear it on my sleeve.
Courage could be defined as 'the willingness to put yourself out there' Compassion means accepting your own vulnerabilities and bringing your whole person, including your dark side, with you so you can suffer with the other person. Because of the human need for connection, we are by definition vulnerable as we let people be seen, heard and valued, and as we give and receive without judgement attached.
In retrospect, this hardly seems worth posting. It feels derivative and simplistic. Also, it goes against what Brenee Brown wrote. The wholehearted journey is not linear and cannot be condensed into a 'how to' formula. It can't be relegated to a sequence of 'to do list' items. Still, it takes the major 'gauzy' [her term] words in the book and puts them in some kind of order. It was helpful [at least to me]
