Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.

More quotes by Brené Brown
When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.
Brené Brown
Unused creativity is not benign.
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
Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.
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.
Brené Brown
Hope is not an emotion it's a way of thinking or a cognitive process.
Brené Brown
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
'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
Vulnerability is not weakness.
Brené Brown
What we know matters, but who we are matters more. Being rather than knowing requires showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It requires us to dare greatly, to be vulnerable.
Brené Brown
[I] never talk about gratitude and joy separately, for this reason. In 12 years, I've never interviewed a single person who would describe their lives as joyful, who would describe themselves as joyous, who was not actively practicing gratitude.
Brené Brown
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.
Brené Brown
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?
Brené Brown
Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.
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
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
Empathy fuels connection sympathy drives disconnection.
Brené Brown
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
Brené Brown
Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.
