More quotes by Brené Brown
Don't do anything that you're already not great at doing.
Brené Brown
The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.
Brené Brown
It's about showing up. And sometimes I don't do it. I almost always regret it, but sometimes I don't do it. Sometimes I walk into a situation where I'm intimidated and I want to be liked and I want to fit in, and I don't choose authenticity. And it's always pretty miserable.
Brené Brown
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
Brené Brown
I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.
Brené Brown
It was scary. But it was so liberating. I thought, This is not predetermined - I get to choose. There are some days where I have to choose five times in a day. I had to make a choice when you called and the phone rang, whether I'm going to show up and be me, or whether I'm going to say what I think I'm supposed to say and get off the phone.
Brené Brown
We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
Brené Brown
We don't have to be perfect, just engaged and committed to aligning values with actions.
Brené Brown
Hope is really a thought.
Brené Brown
People may call what happens at midlife 'a crisis,' but it's not. It's an unraveling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you're 'supposed' to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.
Brené Brown
Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.
Brené Brown
I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued when they can give and receive without judgment and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both it’s engaging. It’s being all in.
Brené Brown
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown
The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.
Brené Brown
I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.
Brené Brown
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history.
Brené Brown
Let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen, to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee... to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, to be this vulnerable means that we’re alive.
Brené Brown
Courage is telling our story, not being immune to criticism.
Brené Brown
