More quotes by Brené Brown
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
Brené Brown
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
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not weakness.
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
We can talk about courage and love and compassion until we sound like a greeting card store, but unless we're willing to have an honest conversation about what gets in the way of putting these into practice in our daily lives, we will never change. Never, ever.
Brené Brown
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
Nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous and hurtful as believing that I'm standing on the outside of my life looking in and wondering what it would be like if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.
Brené Brown
Want to be happy? Stop trying to be perfect.
Brené Brown
Talk about your failures without apologizing.
Brené Brown
I think a lot of us are looking for the same thing. I feel very lucky to have a definitive moment where I know everything shifted in me, and it was the moment I read that quote. Because I thought, A. That's everything I know about vulnerability. It's not winning, it's not losing, it's showing up and being seen. B. That's who I want to be.
Brené Brown
We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.
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 don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
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
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.
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
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
Brené Brown
Effort + the courage to show up = enough.
