We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
Brené Brown

We would solve a lot of huge problems that are causing massive suffering. Poverty, violence, homophobia, heterosexism, racism, the environment - all these things that are crippling us. We need big, bold, dangerous, crazy ideas to solve these problems. When failure is not an option, innovation and creativity are not options.

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.

Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot tolerate having words wrapped around it. What it craves is secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you stay quiet, you stay in a lot of self-judgment.

Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.

If we want to live and love with our whole hearts, and if we want to engage with the world from a place of worthiness, we have to talk about the things that get in the way- especially shame, fear and vulnerability

Hope is not an emotion it's a way of thinking or a cognitive process.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
Brené Brown
Image
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
Image
Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of Wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.

Numb the dark and you numb the light.

Image
Sufficiency isn't two steps up from poverty or one step short of abundance. It isn't a measure of barely enough or more than enough. Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough.

Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.
Brené Brown
Image
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.

Image
I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.

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.
