Effort + the courage to show up = enough.
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.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.
Brené Brown

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives.

Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
Brené Brown
Image
Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.
Brené Brown
Image
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
Image
Courage is telling our story, not being immune to criticism.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.
Brené Brown
