More quotes by Brené Brown
Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.
Brené Brown
There is no creativity without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
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
I can't even think of the right word, but it's not help. It's more like a prerequisite. I think connection is why we're here, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and belonging is in our DNA. And so tribe and belonging are irreducible needs, like love.
Brené Brown
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
Brené Brown
One of the most painfully inauthentic ways we show up in our lives sometimes is saying yes when we mean no, and saying no when we mean hell yes.
Brené Brown
When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.
Brené Brown
You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors.
Brené Brown
Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.
Brené Brown
Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!
Brené Brown
Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.
Brené Brown
How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?
Brené Brown
I’m not very creative” doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.
Brené Brown
Talk about your failures without apologizing.
Brené Brown
Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.
Brené Brown
Empathy is the antidote to shame.
Brené Brown
Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.
Brené Brown
But I don't think it's as dangerous, scary, or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and wondering, what if I would have shown up?
Brené Brown
Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.
