There is this certain feeling one gets in the middle of the heart, this pressure of knowing something you did was wrong. The same feeling is there when you know that the next move you make might result in a negative result. Maybe when you try to start a conversation with a stranger things will turn out to be embarrassing and awkward. Maybe the things you did in the past were weird and damaging to others, and it’s a part of you that should hide. Maybe you are faced with looking at yourself a certain way, asked to drop a belief or ideology that you have proudly held, and like a lost newborn, take on a new identity. 
  Vulnerability is to risk getting hurt. You are putting yourself on the line, ready to do what your heart tells you to. Like beings have done for so long, we are willing to risk the chance for a reward. Leaving the cave, falling in love, trusting others, the chance for failure is there, but the reward outweighs the risk greatly. That is why it’s so important to follow your heart. To speak from your heart and to open your heart. Trust in the ways that you are walking, but continue to be open. 
  Acceptance is to receive something, either into your mind or into the physical world. When we are vulnerable, there is a part of us that is open to new experiences, to new versions of ourselves yet to be discovered. Acceptance is a change, or the start of something new. A new friend or a new perspective. It could be starting a YouTube Channel or becoming Vegan. You are bringing it into your reality, identifying with it, and are again repeating the cycle of being vulnerable. Acceptance is also the end. When something fails, you must live with it. The ego will try to hide, it will run, but unless it accepts who it is, the ego will not surrender. Accepting that you made a mistake, said something wrong, or have lived a life with no love, that will wake you up.    One way to find God. Risk over Reward.
