The danger of being within reach of success
When we feel close to successful completion is when we are the most vulnerable, most prone to error. We do not pause or re-orient, we simply push harder.

Vulnerability solutions
Option 1: Become a sponge, solvency requires absorption Option 2: Neutralize toxicity by sharing commonality
The strength of vulnerability
The paradox: to be secure you must open up. One year ago, I was too fragile to be vulnerable, which led to more isolation and fragility: protective defense doesn’t work.
Vulnerability for Trust
Vulnerability reveals brokenness, and this allows for trust. Recognition of mutuality leads to communion. Not hierarchy or perfection, not abstractions of should and good.
