VULNERABILITY AND PARADOX
1. Stronger preferences can define parts of our identity.
2. Fear of opposite overuses (and loss of benefits) restricts
both/and opportunities.
3. Lost time fearing losses that have occurred or protecting
against future losses.
4. Fear is the resistance enables either/or. Vulnerability enables
both/and.
5. When you can’t rationalize or empathize, either/or seems
appropriate.
