More quotes by Brené Brown
When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.
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
Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.
Brené Brown
If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.
Brené Brown
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.
Brené Brown
Authenticity is also about the courage and the vulnerability to say, Yeah, I'll try it. I feel pretty uncomfortable and I feel a little vulnerable, but I'll try it!
Brené Brown
If we want to make meaning, we need to make art. Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing - it doesn't matter. As long as we're creating, we're cultivating meaning.
Brené Brown
Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.
Brené Brown
We teach what we have to learn. It's been an extraordinary journey that I couldn't have done with not only the research participants but the community, the tribe that we've built of people who are also on this journey.
Brené Brown
Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.
Brené Brown
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.
Brené Brown
When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.
Brené Brown
It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.
Brené Brown
Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
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
Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.
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
Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.
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.
