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.

The credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. We strive valiantly and sometimes there's the triumph of achievement but at the worst, we fail, but at least we fail while daring greatly. That has really changed my life. Profoundly changed my life.

Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement it's about earning approval and acceptance.

Brené Brown
Image
I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.
Brené Brown

We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.

I'm an academic. I'm hardwired for a good debate.
