More quotes by 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
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.
Brené Brown
I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.
Brené Brown
A good life happens when you stop and are grateful for the ordinary moments that so many of us just steamroll over to try to find those extraordinary moments.
Brené Brown
It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?

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
Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.
Brené Brown
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.
Brené Brown
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
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
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Brené Brown
We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection
Brené Brown
Imperfections are not inadequacies they are reminders that we're all in this together.
Brené Brown
We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.
Brené Brown
The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.
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
We cannot give our children what we don't have. Where we are on our journey of living and loving with our whole hearts is a much stronger indicator of parenting success than anything we can learn from how-to books.
Brené Brown
There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning, it's not about losing, it's about showing up and being seen.
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.
