Nonetheless, and perhaps in spite of this, we wanted her to rise and get vengeance. This vulnerability made us forget, even if only for a brief moment, that Cersei was a universally hated villain. Perhaps that's why so many of us related to that infamous scene in Game of Thrones, where Cersei Lannister is paraded naked down the streets, with a bell clanging, and a nun chanting, 'Shame! Shame! Shame!' However, perhaps what's most poignant about that scene is the vulnerability shown by the character. It's a feeling we all wish we didn't have to experience, and the crippling embarrassment often lingers with us long after the event. The more you stand up to these negative forces, the more you’ll flex your courage and resilience and come out stronger for it.Shame. No matter what you’re doing, show up every day to do what you were meant to do and don’t let these hindrances stop you. Fear is the great restrictive force, as it stops most people from ever stepping more than one foot outside their comfort zone towards realizing their true desires.īecause fear and criticism will always be there in some form, the best course of action is always to show up anyway and move forward. In everything that we do, fear and criticism will always be there to greet us.
And, in doing so, can live a much more fulfilling and happier life. By having the courage to be vulnerable and open up to ourselves and the world around us we come directly in touch with our most authentic self. The cool part about it, though, is the gifts we unlock by being willing to be vulnerable far outweigh the difficulty in doing so. In fact, it takes true strength and courage to allow yourself to be vulnerable. However, as Brown demonstrates in her pivotal research, vulnerability is anything but weakness.
Most modern cultures err on the side of suppressed feelings in an effort to display strength.
