“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn’t feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“When I see people stand fully in their truth, or when I see someone fall down, get back up, and say, ‘Damn. That really hurt, but this is important to me and I’m going in again.’”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“It’s not about ‘what can I accomplish?’ but ‘what do I want to accomplish?’”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It’s the fear that we’re not good enough.”
Quote by -Brené Brown

Quote by -Brené Brown
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Healthy striving is self-focused: ‘How can I improve?’ Perfectionism is other-focused: “What will they think?”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Everyone wants to know why customer service has gone to hell in a handbasket. I want to know why customer behavior has gone to hell in a handbasket.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“It’s hard to practice compassion when we’re struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“A lot of cheap seats in the arena are filled with people who never venture onto the floor. They just hurl mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs from a safe distance. The problem is, when we stop caring what people think and stop feeling hurt by cruelty, we lose our ability to connect. But when we’re defined by what people think, we lose the courage to be vulnerable. Therefore, we need to be selective about the feedback we let into our lives. For me, if you’re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“‘Crazy-busy’ is a great armor, it’s a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we’re feeling and what we really need can’t catch up with us.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“When I look at narcissism through the vulnerability lens, I see the shame-based fear of being ordinary. I see the fear of never feeling extraordinary enough to be noticed, to be lovable, to belong, or to cultivate a sense of purpose.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“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.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it’s often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Compassionate people ask for what they need. They say no when they need to, and when they say yes, they mean it. They’re compassionate because their boundaries keep them out of resentment.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“We’re a nation hungry for more joy: Because we’re starving from a lack of gratitude.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“The willingness to show up changes us, it makes us a little braver each time.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“To me, a leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding potential in people and processes.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
Quote by -Brené Brown
“If we share our shame story with the wrong person, they can easily become one more piece of flying debris in an already dangerous storm.”
