“To live with courage, purpose, and connection, we must first engage with our vulnerability.”
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
To truly live a life that is brave, meaningful, and connected to others, we need to be okay with showing our weaknesses and fears. Imagine someone who wants to make new friends. If they always try to act perfect and never share anything real about themselves, it’s hard for others to know and trust them. But, if they are open about their struggles and fears, other people can relate to them and a real friendship can form. This is because being honest and open about our true selves, even the parts we're scared to show, helps us form deeper, more genuine connections. By embracing our vulnerability, we can find the strength to live fully and build meaningful relationships. So, instead of hiding what we feel inside, we should express it, because that's how we connect with others and find our true purpose.
