Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy. — © Rick Warren
Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.
There is no intimacy without vulnerability. Yet another powerful example of vulnerability as courage.
Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.
You pay your money, you take your choice. I get the audience my language attracts and I lose the ones it repels.
Arrogance repels the Lord; humility attracts the Lord.
It is true that money attracts; but much money repels.
Intimacy is based on shared vulnerability Nothing deepens intimacy like the experiences that we share when we feel flayed, with our skins off, scared and vulnerable, and our partner is there with us, willing to share in the scary stuff.
There's a vulnerability to our music that attracts people.
I personally have a philosophy around authenticity and vulnerability.
Leaders goal: Don't be afraid of vulnerability & transparency, (without being pitiful). People respond to authenticity.
It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur; you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
There is a mysterious stillness and intimacy of a woman doing her hair and make-up which attracts me.
There should be a pathway to citizenship - not a special pathway and not no pathway.
Marriage is a way to avoid intimacy. It is a trick to create a formal relationship. Intimacy is informal. If a marriage arises out of intimacy it is beautiful but if you are hoping that intimacy will arise out of marriage, you are hoping in vain. Of course, I know that many people, millions of people, have settled for marriage rather than for intimacy - because intimacy is growth and it is painful.
You can't find intimacy - you can't find home - when you're always hiding behind masks. Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
Theology is indispensable for religious communities to make sense of themselves and their changing views about the world in light of what is perceived to be revelation, but, at the same time, that theology can have a pretentiousness, or double pretentiousness, if it is acontextual as opposed to contextual, if it is foundationalist as opposed to antifoundationalist, or ahistorical as opposed to historicist.
