Courage, Compassion, & Connection

In Brene Brown's book called "Daring Greatly"
she talks about wholehearted living. 
She She says,

"Wholehearted living
is about
engaging in our lives
from a place of worthiness."

"It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection
to wake up in the morning and think;
No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough. 

It's going to bed at night thinking;
Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid,
but that doesn't change the truth
that I am also brave and  worthy of love and belonging.

Love and belong are are needs of all men, women, and children. 
We are hardwired for connection --
it is what gives us purpose and meaning to our lives. 

The absence of love, belonging, and connection
leads to suffering.

A strong belief in our own worthiness is cultivated,
it just does not happen. 

Living a life of courage is defined
by having compassion and connection. 

Vulnerability is the catalyst for
courage and compassion and connection. 

Willingness to be vulnerable is the single clearest value
shared by most men and women who are wholehearted."
