Being
recently enlightened by Brené Brown’s Ted Talk: The Power of Vulnerability makes me wonder where I’ve been for the last five years---under a rock?
Here
are a few snippets I gleaned from the Talk:
stories
are data with a soul
telling the story of who you are
with your whole heart
life’s
messy; clean it up
knock
discomfort upside the head
with a sense of courage
let
go of who you think you are
embrace
who you ARE
say
i love you first
do
something with no guarantee
be
willing to
invest in relationships
stop
controlling and predicting
live
vulnerably
I love Brene Brown. So glad you found her. Your post goes straight to the heart of her message. Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! "Let go of who you think you are and embrace who you are." I love that.
ReplyDeleteSuch a powerful post! Thank you for giving us notes from that TED talk. I loved this line the most:

Sometimes if feels as though this is the easiest thing in the world to do, and other days it feels impossible. Beautiful thought.
Love these notes so much I just signed up for TED Talks and put on a watch later list. Thanks for sharing. :-)

ReplyDeleteWe were on the same wavelength today! Check out Glennon Doyle Melton's website, Momastery.com--I have a feeling you'll like her, too.
