More quotes by Brené Brown
Faith minus vulnerability is fundamentalism
Brené Brown
I don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
Brené Brown
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
Brené Brown
Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.
Brené Brown
If we want to be able to move through the difficult disappointments, the hurt feelings, and the heartbreaks that are inevitable in a fully lived life, we can't equate defeat with being unworthy of love, belonging and joy. If we do, we'll never show up and try again.
Brené Brown
I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued when they can give and receive without judgment and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
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
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
There is no creativity without vulnerability.
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.

If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.
Brené Brown
Worrying about scarcity is our culture's version of post-traumatic stress. It happens when we've been through too much, and rather than coming together to heal (which requires vulnerability) we're angry and scared and at each other's throats.
Brené Brown
When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.
Brené Brown
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history.
Brené Brown
Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.
Brené Brown
It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.
Brené Brown
Self-compassion is key because when we're able to be gentle with ourselves in the midst of shame, we're more likely to reach out, connect, and experience empathy.
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.
