More quotes by Brené Brown
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
We would solve a lot of huge problems that are causing massive suffering. Poverty, violence, homophobia, heterosexism, racism, the environment - all these things that are crippling us. We need big, bold, dangerous, crazy ideas to solve these problems. When failure is not an option, innovation and creativity are not options.
Brené Brown
Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.
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.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.
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
We cannot give our children what we don't have. Where we are on our journey of living and loving with our whole hearts is a much stronger indicator of parenting success than anything we can learn from how-to books.
Brené Brown
When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.
Brené Brown
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.
Brené Brown
Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.
Brené Brown
I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.
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.
Brené Brown
Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.
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
Then I tell my own story. The two things that people really need to transform is language to understand their experience and to know they're not alone. It's the combination of the researcher-storyteller part.
Brené Brown
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.
Brené Brown
The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.
Brené Brown
There are infinite numbers of do overs for your teen girls.
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.
