Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run but, it will never make you less afraid.

• Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of
  worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection
  to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and
  how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking,
  Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t
  change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.
