Daring Greatly

Theme:

Daring Greatly by Brene Brown: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead.  It is about being vulnerable, living wholeheartedly, and showing up as our authentic selves in the face of uncertainty, doubt, and not knowing. It’s courageously loving and being loved and putting ourselves and our creations out there despite the risk of rejection.

Famous Quotes:

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.”

“Don’t try to win over the haters; you are not a jackass whisperer.”

“Daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time.”

“The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories, to appear more or less acceptable, but our wholeness — even our wholeheartedness — actually depends on the integration of all our experiences, including the falls.”

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”

“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

“It’s worse to spend your life on the outside looking in, wondering what if, than it is to try and dare greatly and risk the chance of failure.  Dare greatly; get in the arena and try.”

“We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.”

“You either walk inside your story and own it or you can stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”
