More quotes by Brené Brown
Faith minus vulnerability is fundamentalism
Brené Brown
Numb the dark and you numb the light.
Brené Brown
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Brené Brown
The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.
Brené Brown
I believe that owning our worthiness is the act of acknowledging that we are sacred. Perhaps embracing vulnerability and overcoming numbing is ultimately about the care and feeding of our spirits
Brené Brown
Unused creativity is not benign.
Brené Brown
It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.
Brené Brown
The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.
Brené Brown
It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.
Brené Brown
If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.
Brené Brown
Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.
Brené Brown
Shame works like the zoom lens on a camera. When we are feeling shame, the camera is zoomed in tight and all we see is our flawed selves, alone and struggling.(page 68)
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.
Brené Brown
The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.
Brené Brown
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.
Brené Brown
Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.
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.
