More quotes by Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both it’s engaging. It’s being all in.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust. It's not oversharing, it's not purging, it's not indiscriminate disclosure, and it's not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.
Brené Brown
We can’t practice compassion with other people if we can’t treat ourselves kindly.
Brené Brown
We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history.
Brené Brown
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
Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.
Brené Brown
Joy comes to us in moments--ordina ry moments. We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.
Brené Brown
When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
Brené Brown
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
Brené Brown
I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.
Brené Brown
If we don’t allow ourselves to experience joy and love, we will definitely miss out on filling our reservoir with what we need when. . . . hard things happen.
Brené Brown
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
Empathy doesn't require that we have the exact same experiences as the person sharing their story with us...Empathy is connecting with the emotion that someone is experiencing, not the event or the circumstance.
Brené Brown
Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
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
Empathy fuels connection sympathy drives disconnection.
Brené Brown
We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.
Brené Brown
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
We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection
