The true warrior is vulnerable, practices vulnerability, embraces vulnerability, and knows that the path of vulnerability is the path of true strength. To practice your faith effectively, you must be vulnerable and open to practising love, and fully embracing the true love of your higher power. When we are vulnerable, we are able to effectively put on the “full armour of god”1 and gird ourselves for the challenges of each and every day in our world. With the full armour of God, we are able to convert what is defined as a weakness into a strength. Vulnerability, becomes an amazing tool in your personal armoury when you understand how to use it properly. No longer a weakness, through personal development, training, and practice, you flip it around and have it become a core strength.

Don’t let your prejudice keep you weak. You might wonder what I mean by that. Well look again at the preceding paragraph. Did you recognize yourself in its message? Do you embrace your vulnerability? Or did you think I was crazy for even suggesting that you expose your soft underbelly? A risk taker once told me that he had been afraid to take this step. He was worried that he was sacrificing his identity. He was afraid that he was giving up some of his precious self. But then he realized that he was a risk taker, and this was just another risk. At that point he realized that he had nothing to be afraid of—it was the path to strength and he wanted more strength. “What the hell,” he said, “bring it on. I embrace it. I am up for the risk, because I am a risk taker!” This was an epic epiphany for him, and led to an amazing personal transformation. Do not shut off the sunshine of your core strength.

You are warriors. You are risk takers. Take the right risk and embrace yourself. Become all that you can be. You will create and enjoy great success as a result. So it is written.
