Owning The Whole Truth – Brene Brown

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the greatest thing we will ever do.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.  Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable.

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

The willingness to tell our stories, feel the pain of others, and stay genuinely connected in this disconnected world is not something we can do halfheartedly.  To practice courage, compassion, and connection is to look at life and the people around us, and say, ‘I’m all in.'”
