More quotes by Brené Brown
If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.
Brené Brown
Guilt is just as powerful, but its influence is positive, while shame's is destructive. Shame erodes our courage and fuels disengagement.
Brené Brown
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown
Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?
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
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.
Brené Brown
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.
Brené Brown
I'm never more courageous than when I'm embracing imperfection, embracing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries with the people in my life.
Brené Brown
We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
Brené Brown
How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?
Brené Brown
It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.
Brené Brown
Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.
Brené Brown
We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time.
Brené Brown
There is no creativity without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.
Brené Brown
The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.
Brené Brown
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
Healthy striving is self-focused: How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused: What will they think?
