30 phrases by Brené Brown that carry the ideas of this inspiring figure

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we should be and embracing who we are.

Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.

When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we can write the ending.

Being vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.

Whatever you do, don’t bring hate into your heart.

If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being mean to another human being, take it personally. Take it personal because it’s personal!

It takes courage to be imperfect. Accept and embrace our weaknesses and love them.

Vulnerability is courage in you and weakness in me.

We cannot selectively numb emotions; when we numb painful emotions, we also numb positive emotions.

Vulnerability is being the first to say “I love you” without knowing if the declaration will be reciprocated.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Giving up our emotions for fear that the cost will be too high means moving away from the one thing that gives meaning and meaning to life.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

Instead of living on judgments and criticisms, we should dare, show up and let them see us. That’s the courage to be imperfect! This is living boldly! We’re here to bond with people! Love and acceptance are needs…

In the absence of an authentic bond, we suffer. And when I say authentic, I mean the kind of bond that doesn’t require us to make an effort to be accepted or change to fit in.

We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.

Owning our story can be difficult, but not as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerability is risky, but not as dangerous as giving up on love, belonging, and joy.

Vulnerability is not weakness; and the uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional.

Talk to yourself as you would talk to someone you love.

We’re all so busy chasing the extraordinary “O” that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.

The strongest moments of our lives happen when we tie the little lights created by courage, compassion and bonding, and see them shine in the darkness of our battles.

Vulnerability is not winning or losing, it’s having the courage to act when you can’t control the outcome.

It is very important how much we know and understand ourselves, but there is something that is even more essential for an integral and full life: loving ourselves.

I don’t have to look for extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

Vulnerability is synonymous with courage. Courage to face everything and be vulnerable to improve and not give up.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage are not always comfortable, but they are never weakness.

To feel is to be vulnerable. To believe that vulnerability is a weakness is to believe that feeling is a weakness.

Shame is the biggest and most powerful of emotions. It’s the fear of not being good enough.

It is very important how much we know and understand ourselves, but there is something that is even more essential for an integral and full life: loving ourselves.
