“Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.... Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Feelings #Weakness #Connections
“Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect. When we don't have that, we shape-shift and turn into chameleons; we hustle for the worthiness we already possess.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

“Until we can receive with an open heart, we're never really giving with an open heart. When we attach judgment to receiving help, we knowingly or unknowingly attach judgment to giving help.”

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Inspirational #Motivational #Friendship
“[I] never talk about gratitude and joy separately, for this reason. In 12 years, I've never interviewed a single person who would describe their lives as joyful, who would describe themselves as joyous, who was not actively practicing gratitude.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

“We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Positive #Abnormal Psychology #Emotion
“If we donâ€™t allow ourselves to experience joy and love, we will definitely miss out on filling our reservoir with what we need when. . . . hard things happen.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Joy #Missing #Challenges
“Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, itâ€™s understanding the necessity of both; itâ€™s engaging. Itâ€™s being all in.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Knowing #Understanding #Victory
“The real questions for parents should be: "Are you engaged? Are you paying attention?" If so, plan to make lots of mistakes and bad decisions. Imperfect parenting moments turn into gifts as our children watch us try to figure out what went wrong and how we can do better next time. The mandate is not to be perfect and raise happy children. Perfection doesn't exist, and I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Children #Real #Mistake
“One of the greatest barriers to connection is the cultural importance we place on "going it alone." Somehow we've come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves. It's as if we've divided the world into "those who offer help" and "those who need help." The truth is that we are both.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Hands #Connections #Needs
“Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The power that connection holds in our lives was confirmed when the main concern about connection emerged as the fear of disconnection; the fear that something we have done or failed to do, something about who we are or where we come from, has made us unlovable and unworthy of connection.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Giving #Connections #Where We Come
“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!â€ (p 272)”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Differences #Making A Difference #Want
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Showing Up #Overcoming Fear #Vulnerability
“Feeling vulnerable, imperfect, and afraid is human. It's when we lose our capacity to hold space for these struggles that we become dangerous.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Struggle #Space #Feelings
“Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Business #Heart #Giving
“Itâ€™s no longer a question of can I do it. Itâ€™s a question of: Do I want to do it?”
-- BrenÃ© Brown

#Want
“What we know matters but who we are matters more.”
-- BrenÃ© Brown
