Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.

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.

At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.

The credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. We strive valiantly and sometimes there's the triumph of achievement but at the worst, we fail, but at least we fail while daring greatly. That has really changed my life. Profoundly changed my life.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
Image
Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.
Brené Brown
Image
We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time.
Brené Brown
Image
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.

The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.
Brené Brown
Image
It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.
Brené Brown
Image
Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.

If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
