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.

Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.

If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!
Brené Brown
Image
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.

How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?

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.

There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning, it's not about losing, it's about showing up and being seen.
