More quotes by Brené Brown

Perfection is crucial in building an aircraft, a bridge, or a high-speed train. The code and mathematics residing just below the surface of the Internet is also this way. Things are either perfectly right or they will not work. So much of the world we work and live in is based upon being correct, being perfect.
Brené Brown

Brené Brown
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
Brené Brown
We can talk about courage and love and compassion until we sound like a greeting card store, but unless we're willing to have an honest conversation about what gets in the way of putting these into practice in our daily lives, we will never change. Never, ever.
Brené Brown
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

Hope is really a thought.
Brené Brown
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.
Brené Brown
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
