“The most dangerous stories we make up are the narratives that diminish our inherent worthiness. We must reclaim the truth about our lovability, divinity, and creativity.”
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves can be harmful, especially when they make us believe we aren't good enough. For example, imagine a child who thinks they are bad at math because they failed one test; they might say, "I'm just not smart enough." This story could stop them from trying harder or believing they can improve. It's important to challenge these negative stories and remember that they don't define our true value. Everyone has their unique talents and qualities that make them lovable and special. To live a happier life, we should focus on the positive truths about ourselves, like our abilities to love, create, and grow. Instead of dwelling on our flaws, we should celebrate our strengths and potential.
