More quotes by Brené Brown
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
People may call what happens at midlife 'a crisis,' but it's not. It's an unraveling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you're 'supposed' to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.
Brené Brown
Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
The question isn't so much Are you parenting the right way? as it is: Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?
Brené Brown
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
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
I’m not very creative” doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.
Brené Brown
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.
Brené Brown
Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you've got all the answers, then don't call what you do 'faith.'
Brené Brown
Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.
Brené Brown
Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Brené Brown
One of the most painfully inauthentic ways we show up in our lives sometimes is saying yes when we mean no, and saying no when we mean hell yes.
Brené Brown
If you own this story you get to write the ending.
Brené Brown
Here's what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we're worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.
Brené Brown
Hope is not an emotion it's a way of thinking or a cognitive process.
Brené Brown
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
The truth is, I'm a storyteller. And it scares me, because my training as an academic is that the more accessible you are and the more human you are, the less smart you are. It's a shame trigger for me to be honest.
Brené Brown
Unused creativity is not benign.
