“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.” Brené Brown

"Vulnerability isn’t weakness and it is definitely not insecurity. In fact, vulnerability and insecurity are on the opposite ends of the emotional see-saw. Insecurity is a debilitating awareness of one's limitations. Vulnerability is the ability to see one's potential for growth.

Being vulnerable is being open to the construct that you may not know what’s around every corner, but you’re going to find out. It’s being open to the world instead of hiding out in fear of it. It’s knowing that the journey of YOU is never-ending, that you’re never done learning and growing. It’s discovering what is on your horizon and making it happen." - from google ai

"Vulnerability involves uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. It is not weakness but a measure of courage."

I haven't read Brene Brown's Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead, but I think I've realized with many words there are multiple meanings. Vulnerability to me is the courage to embrace risk.

2022 Review + Rezzo 2023

This post is almost a week late because I was trying to take it easy after my Bali meditation + fam vacation trip. This year end trip really made me appreciate the slow life where I was really trying not to overthink and over-plan. (Also, geez, what happened to me? When did I become this sort of person?)

It's only been 2 days into the new year and I'm beginning to feel tired of the super-fast pace of work life again. I must remind myself to take it down a notch, as John Green says. I'm not working in a hospital – nobody will die if my job doesn't get done.

But first, let's recap some things I'm really grateful for in 2022, in no particular order -

Gratitude list 2022

1. My parents: They are not perfect but they are always doing their best to care for us the ways they know how. I'm learning new things about their outlook in life recently. My mom is an optimist that makes the best out of every sucky unexpected situation because she just wants everyone to feel ok. I think I probably got that from her. My father cares a lot about the world at large. Although we have different views of what "good" is, I appreciate that side of him.

2. National Library Board: Ok nerd. I feel like somehow I'm reading more books than ever this year. And really starting to get back more into physical books. Although I still love Libby for its convenience, sometimes reading on digital devices can be distracting. So I really appreciate having such a great library system in Sg – I can choose either to hang out at a nearby air-conditioned library or just to lie in bed and scroll Libby on my phone. It's the top perk of being Singaporean IMO.

3. Authors: I cannot not mention the people that wrote those books I enjoyed so much from the library. Some of the books that moved me last year:

Jon Yates - Fractured: Why Our Societies Are Coming Apart and How We Put Them Back Together Again.

Brene Brown - Braving Wilderness, Dare to Lead, Atlas of the Heart (also her podcasts have helped me so much last year)

Hank Green - I don't read enough fiction so these YA books were a surprise pleasure for me: An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor

Yanis Varoufakis - Talking to My Daughter About The Economy

4. The 3-Headed-Oracle: We completed 2 more writing challenges this year! I really appreciate the way we kept so consistent with this habit through the process, and got to know how each other thinks. I enjoyed learning how we see the world through different lenses, having their perspectives was really valuable and precious.

5. Workshops attended: Learning new self-awareness, critical thinking and communication skills at 2 in-person workshops which both happened at Common Ground - Facilitating Conversations for Change (by Shiao-yin), and Seeing & Shifting Systems (by Studio Dojo). These courses were so perspective-expanding that I wish more people would have the chance to attend. So I'm also grateful that my company has L&D funds for us to upskill ourselves.

6. Vipassana: Renewing my meditation practice at a 10-day course, and getting to disconnect from the world temporarily. Really amazing to have the opportunity to do that again after more than 6 years, such a privilege. This is my third time doing it but I somehow still gained new understanding and wisdom this time around.

7. XD Summer Offsite: Something about work - Meeting all my XD colleagues in person at our offsite in Prague. Even though this trip was expensive (they flew all of us in SG down) it was also necessary to at least start the process of gaining trust and building connections in the newly re-organized team.

8. Standing up XD Ops: Finally given the opportunity to upstand this new function officially in the group. I also learned that sometimes the right thing to do is to actively ask for things and not just wait for them to drop from the sky. Unsaid expectations and unset boundaries will just cause resentment. This is a huge theme this year for work. Clear is kind.

Intention review 2022

So what did I say I wanted to do last year? Balance? I regretfully say I did not achieve that. I was too busy balancing other people's priorities while neglecting my own. I was reading and learning a lot more, desperately trying to get more information about why things happen the way they do, trying to get more tools that could help solve the problems I see. As a result, I was feeling quite burnt out at some point, and people around me noticed.

I guess that was what pushed me to sign myself up to do a 10-day silent retreat again. I have to forcefully shut myself away and disconnect from the external world to find out what is happening inside myself.

A lot of things came up for me during my time meditating - the past, the future, imagination of things that has yet to come, assumptions of how things came to be. I have to remind myself, all these are anicca, impermanent. Stories in my mind that arise and will pass away. I am not the same person just 1 millisecond ago, what for carrying this baggage forward? What is more important is the choices I can make in the present moment, which is to sit here and observe my breathe and my body sensations. That's the only true thing.

Knowing all these theoretically is one thing, but the benefit of having these 10 day silent protected time is for us to actually start the process of rewiring our brains and stop the habitual impulse reactions of daily life.

But still, I guess these 10 days are not enough. I was refreshed and ready for the new year, yet, just 2 days in, facing all these unread emails and to-do lists leftover from last year, I'm starting to feel tired again. This won't do.

Intentions 2023

1. Spend more time practicing meditation. From past experience of previous retreats, my self-discipline has not been very strong when it comes to daily sittings. This a new strategy this time is to join a regular group. I've put a recurring event on my calendar to attend a weekly group sitting. Hopefully, this will help me maintain my practice.

2. Help my family be more healthy. In both body and mind. My parents are getting older, and although they are actively doing exercise by themselves, I think they would also benefit from learning Vipassana and begin the reduce their mental burden of growing old (and having the worrisome baggage of 3 single adult children lol). I'm also seeing how my bro is suffering from health problems because of an unhealthy lifestyle. He too could benefit from being more mindful of his habits. It may be a tall order to have them sign up for a 10-day meditation course, but hey, I've done harder things! 3. Turn things down a notch. I know it's counter-intuitive to say I have a deadline, but I've told my boss that I want to leave for my postgrad studies by the next year. So during this timeframe, I'm going to try my best to see what things I can create automated or self-running systems around, and maximize things that can be left undone. In short, how can I make myself dispensable? 4. Continue to serve others and build relationships, but be less "bottom". I used to think that there is a freedom that comes with being invisible and ego-less, and have used that easygoingness to get people to trust me and thus get what I need to be done. But I am starting to learn that doing things this way can be effective earlier in my career, but does not scale when I reached a certain level. Sometimes the right and kind actions are to actively set boundaries, keep clarifying situations, and align expectations. Don't try to be everything for everyone, instead, how can I help others learn how to help each other and help themselves?

[pagebypagereviews]

In an era where vulnerability is often misconstrued as weakness, Brené Brown's seminal work "Daring Greatly" shatters the myth with profound clarity and invites us into a world where embracing your vulnerability is the ultimate act of courage. This transformative book, drawing its title from Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech "The Man in the Answer," advocates for the power of vulnerability to create a life filled with purpose and connection. Brown, a leading expert on shame, empathy, and vulnerability, compels us to rethink our cultural paradigm. Her extensive research spanning over a decade uncovers how daring to be vulnerable is not only courageous but also a vital pathway to deeper relationships and resilient living. "Daring Greatly" addresses the pervasive struggles that spawn from our fear of not being enough – from parenting and education to the workplace and personal relationships. Brown navigates us through the societal armor that we armor up with in an attempt to shield against vulnerability, exposing the true cost of disengagement. The book is a solution-centered manual that dismantles the walls of the emotional fortress we build, providing practical strategies for leaning into discomfort and cultivating a sense of worthiness. By identifying vulnerability as the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change, Brown's work emboldens us to dare greatly, transforming not only our own lives but also the culture of our communities and institutions. Plot Daring Greatly does not follow a traditional narrative plot structure as it is a non-fiction work centered around the concept of vulnerability. Brene Brown weaves in personal anecdotes, research findings, and societal observations to explore what it means to embrace vulnerability and how it impacts our lives. The 'plot' unfolds as a series of revelations on how the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead. Brown challenges the perception that vulnerability is a weakness, instead arguing that it is the most accurate measure of courage. As readers progress through the book, they are guided through the steps needed to discard their armor and show up in various aspects of life without fear of not being enough. Characters In "Daring Greatly," the term 'characters' applies to the real-life individuals discussed in the context of Brown's research. These individuals come from a variety of backgrounds and share their experiences with vulnerability. While there is no character development in the typical fictional sense, the character studies provided in the book offer a deep dive into the lives of people who exemplify the principles of vulnerability that Brown espouses. Brown herself can be considered the central 'character', as she shares her own journey and struggles with vulnerability, providing a personal narrative that readers can follow and relate to. Writing Style Brené Brown's writing style in "Daring Greatly" is characterized by a blend of personal storytelling, research exposition, and inviting prose. Brown employs a conversational tone that makes complex psychological concepts accessible to a broad readership. She crafts her arguments with a balance of qualitative anecdotes from her own life and extensive research, presenting vulnerability through a composite lens of academic rigor and human experience. Her use of metaphors, like the "arena" as a symbol for areas in life where we show up and be seen, makes the content relatable and engaging. Setting "Daring Greatly" is not set in a specific location as it is a work of non-fiction focused on the thematic exploration of emotional states and societal norms. However, the 'setting' can be thought of as the various environments in which vulnerability comes into play: personal relationships, professional workplaces, schools, and broader cultural arenas. Brown draws on examples from these settings to situate her discussion, whether it's a story about a leader in a corporate boardroom or a parent struggling to connect with their child.

The book takes readers through an introspective journey across these ubiquitous settings, examining how vulnerability can shape and improve interactions in every area of life. Unique Aspects Unique to "Daring Greatly" is Brown's approach to combining rigorous research with approachable narrative elements to destigmatize vulnerability. Brown's background in social work and research grounds the book in empirical evidence, while her authentic storytelling techniques provide a human touch. One of the unique hallmarks of the book is the "Shame Resilience Theory," developed by Brown through years of studying emotions and human connection. This framework equips readers with the tools to understand and navigate their feelings of shame. Additionally, the book challenges pervasive myths about strength and vulnerability in Western culture, such as the misbelief that vulnerability equates to weakness, fundamentally reshaping the reader’s perspective on emotional exposure.

When we numb emotions, it is our way of avoiding painful feelings or traumatic experiences. Whether we push everything down, “just try and not think about it,” or turn to alcohol, over-eating, over-spending and the like, we are leaning into numbing behaviours. Brene Brown says it best:

“We cannot selectively numb emotion. If we numb the dark, we numb the light. If we take the edge off pain and discomfort, we are, by default, taking the edge off joy, love, belonging, and the other emotions that give meaning to our lives.” – Brene Brown in “Dare to Lead”

It is in our nature to avoid what is painful; we don’t willingly put ourselves in harm’s way. It is also, however, in our nature to grow and in order to achieve that, we must also understand the pain. Sometimes this will require both courage and curiousity so as to lean into the pain; to explore how it has manifested in you and to reclaim it in the name of growth and movement.

He/him

“Getting to know people is one of the most satisfying and consistent motivations in my life. I’ve pursued this as an undergraduate student of journalism as well as in volunteer efforts, crisis, recovery, and military work.”

Patrick brings passion to investigating and deepening self-knowledge. His compassion and understanding are foundational elements of his work. With a background in mindfulness practice(s), Patrick encourages clients to connect with their natural strengths and blends this with concrete skill-building to provide support in navigating sensitivities.

Ask me about: Neil Young, Pema Chodron, poetry, vegetarian cooking, living in England, Nashville, and Northern California.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been: Invested in learning about myself through books, particularly through others’ very human experiences.

Favorite Quote: “Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way we dream about it. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught, and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit.” -Pema Chodron

Favorite kind of couples: I truly admire anyone who has the courage to ask for help. Disruptive priorities sometimes obscure our desires, passions, and motivations, and openness to exploring the things that can muddy the waters is a noble and challenging endeavor.
