Open-source Software (OSS) allows users to study, change and improve upon software and its source code. Think of it like a house where anyone is allowed to remodel the kitchen, patch a hole in the drywall, fix the leaky roof, tear out the carpets, install hardwood, add on a three-car garage, etc. "Open-source" is the very reason why software has advanced at such an alarming pace. It has allowed software engineers to meld minds.

This idea of "Open-source" is powerful and should be applied to all areas of our lives where we feel we are operating in the dark. We should Open-source mental health. We should Open-source imposter syndrome. We should Open-source addiction (why do you Alcoholics Anonymous has been so successful?). We should Open-source relationship challenges.

By Open-sourcing our life's probelms, we open ourselves up to wisdom far beyond our own. Open-source isn't jumping on Reddit or asking Quora. It's asking people you love and trust about what they've learned about "X".

While Open-source Software runs on computers, Open-source Life runs on vulnerability.
