Brene Brown Quotes
"Perfectionism is self-destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal""To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees""Connection is why we're here. It is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives""Perfectionism is a 20-ton shield. It's a way of thinking that says this: If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, I can avoid or minimize shame, blame, and judgment""Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites""The opposite of scarcity is not abundance; it’s enough""Vulnerability is the most accurate measure of courage""We cannot selectively numb emotions; when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions""If you can't ask for help without self-judgment, you cannot offer help without judging others""Hope is a function of struggle""Empathy is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment""The willingness to show up changes us, it makes us a little braver each time""Don’t try to win over the haters; you’re not the jackass whisperer""True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are""Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty""Our worthiness, that core belief that we are enough, comes only when we live inside our story""The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back up""Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart. When we attach judgment to receiving help, we knowingly or unknowingly attach judgment to giving help""Vulnerability is not about losing. It’s about being present and showing up when you can’t control the outcome""When we work from a place, that says, 'I’m enough,' we then stop screaming and start listening. We’re kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we’re kinder and gentler to ourselves"
