“True belonging is not passive. It’s not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It’s not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it’s safer. It’s a practice that requires vulnerability to get uncomfortable and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.”
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Real belonging means being active and engaged. It's not just about being part of a group or trying to fit in. It's about being yourself, even when it's hard or uncomfortable, and connecting with others without losing your true self.
