“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected. And while the journey is long and difficult at times, it is the path to living a more wholehearted life.” Uncover the power of your voice. “We own our stories so we don’t spend our lives being defined by them or denying them. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.” “When we deny our stories, they define us. “People who wade into discomfort and vulnerability and tell the truth about their stories are the real badasses.” Own the hell out of your story. “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.” So I’ve collected a few words from Brené Brown that drive home the same point, arguably much more eloquently, and I think we can all agree that when Brené says something, it’s worth listening to.
Maybe you’ve seen me rattle on about how much our world needs those stories, about how much we can learn and grow and deepen our own experience by uncovering the lessons from our own experience, about how absolutely terrifying it can be to say it out loud and how quickly that terror vanishes when someone reaches out to say “yes, me too, exactly this.”Īnd maybe you haven’t quite believed me, because who am I? (Fair question, I’m still trying to work that out myself.)
Hold on to your hearts-the quotes I’m about to share will break down your walls and shake it loose.Īs one of the Directors of Elephant Academy, I talk a lot (like, a lot) about the power of our voice, the particular kind of bravery that goes hand in hand with being vulnerable, and the ways that sharing even one story from our wonderful, messy little lives can a have rippling impact on our entire world.
