“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.” – Brene Brown

Rudri, we always used to have bleeding hearts flowers in Michigan. I had forgotten about them! Another good one from Brene Brown!
I am certain those bleeding flowers are glorious in person. Yes, Brene Brown’s work is full of so many gems.
Terrific quote. I find that a lot of Brene Brown’s essays are so spot on with how our culture defines strength and courage. She has a new book that just came out last week. Do you plan to read it?
Jackie,
I bought her book last week and hope to dive into it sometimes this month. I find so much comfort and perspective in her words. She also seems incredibly humble and generous with her knowledge.
I love this !
Glad you like it, Ayala!
Love this… you have such a gift for picking out such amazingly relevant, thought provoking quotes!
I love Brene!!
So true. I’ve always thought courage and vulnerability go hand in hand.
