Knowing laughter is the moment we feel proof that our shame has been transformed. “Laughter is evidence that the chokehold of shame has been loosened. Without both, there is no opportunity for empathy and connection.” “Courage gives us a voice and compassion gives us an ear. “That impostor or phony feeling at work or school rarely has anything to do with our abilities but has more to do with that fearful voice inside of us that scolds and asks, ‘Who do you think you are?'” “Trying to escape media influences in today’s culture is as feasible as trying to protect ourselves from air pollution by not breathing.” “Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging.”
“Nothing silences us more effectively than shame.”
Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as ‘ordinary courage.'” But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences-good and bad. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant ‘To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.’ Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. The root of the word courage is cor-the Latin word for heart. Take it personally because it is personal!” “If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Quotes From I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME (BUT IT ISN’T): MAKING THE JOURNEY FROM “WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK” TO “I AM ENOUGH” (2007) “The ability to hold something we’ve done or failed to do up against who we want to be is incredibly adaptive. I learned about these things from studying shame.” “ I did not learn about vulnerability and courage and creativity and innovation from studying vulnerability. There’s nothing more vulnerable than that.” “To create is to make something that has never existed before. “Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change.” Let’s bolster up and get in the arena! TEDx houston: the power of vulnerability So join me: here are a floppity-jillion Brené Brown quotes, culled from her books and her TED Talks, for you to enjoy. And I have to say, bolstering my courage and my heart work and my mothering and wifing with some good ol’ Brené Brown wisdom has only helped me. Suddenly, I was holding forth about why my wife and I need to make time for ourselves even though we have a toddler and it’s hard because NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN US BRENÉ BROWN SAID! There are worse occupational hazards, I assure you. And while it was fun, and relatively easy, the thing I didn’t expect was the way Brené Brown quotes would bubble up through my subconscious, informing the conversations I had and the ways I looked at situations.
When I signed on to write a collection of Brené Brown quotes, I thought okay, cool, I’ll find a few quotes, I’ll do a little pretty quote-y Pinterest surfing, and this will be fun and easy. She lives in Maryland with her wife, their son, and their cat. Going through life with an apron tied on and a pen in her hand, Dana Staves writes about books and food.
