If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.
Brené BrownThere is no such thing as creative and non-creative people, only people who use their creativity and people who don't.
Brené BrownVulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection.

Brené BrownOne of the most painfully inauthentic ways we show up in our lives sometimes is saying "yes" when we mean "no," and saying "no" when we mean "hell yes."
