20 INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES OF BRENE BROWN ON EMBRACING VULNERABILITY
1. "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."
2. "What we know matters but who we are matters more."
3. "Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path."
4. "The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows."
5. "Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance."
6. "We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions."

11. "Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change."
12. "Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we are all in this together."
13. "Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think of how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed."
14. "I define connection as the energy that exists between two people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustainance and strength from the relationship. "
15. "To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in life that doesn't come with guarantees- these are the risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I'm learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerabilty teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace."
16. "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."
17. "Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to belive in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty. "
18. "If we share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive."
19. "I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do."
20. "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."
