“If you never learn what makes you fragile, you will never learn how to fix them and become stronger in life.” -Michael J. Fite

Keep this in mind when it comes to the importance of you learning what makes you fragile.

The reality is that we all have at least one thing in our lives that makes each of us fragile. Whether we want to admit it or not, it is important to understand that no matter how much we try to hide or run from what makes us fragile, the only way to get through them is to deal with them head on.

For today’s inspiration, we will answer the following four questions:

1. What is the definition of fragile?

2. Why do people hate being fragile?

3. What are four ways you can deal with what makes you fragile?

4. What are three ways that dealing with what makes you fragile makes you stronger?

Now that we have the questions, let’s find the answers!

What is the definition of fragile?

Merriam-Webster defines fragile as:

• Easily broken or damaged : very delicate : not strong.

Fragile is something that can be considered weak and must be handled with a certain type of care.

Why do people hate being fragile?

This answer can vary from person to person depending on what it is that has them in a fragile state. No matter the variety of the answer, it comes back to one big answer: it shows weakness. I will explain below:

1. Most people do not want to be seen in a fragile state because it shows what makes them at low moments that have them feeling broken, down, sad, and not at their best.

2. There is some fear that maybe the enemy or someone else will use such vulnerable moments in order to prey and take advantage of fragile people.

 

Both of these explanations can lead to the five following issues in a person:

1. Isolation. (Choosing to be alone in dealing with your weakness.)

2. Lack of trust or faith. (Not wanting to trust or believe in people or resources.)

3. Inability to receive and accept help. (Not able take the help given to you.

4. Overcompensation of certain weakness. (Try to hide what makes you fragile by trying to be a perfectionist and cover them up with patches.

5. Breakdowns in the future. (Not properly dealing with what makes you fragile now can become bigger problems that can affect your life and those people around you.)

Being fragile is not an easy thing, but if you never deal with your fragility, it will get worse over time.
