I just watched this amazing talk by Brene Brown. The part that hit me the most was about numbing our negative emotions. When we numb our negative emotions we also numb the positive ones. I know this is something that I do in my life and I have worried that if I cannot learn to be vulnerable and accept fear, failure and sadness, that I will never experience the fullness of joy that life has to offer! Something to work on... constantly. :)
