The Power of Vulnerability | Brene Brown | TED Talks



Researched Connection.

Worthiness: People who have a strong sense of love n belonging believe that they are worthy of love n belonging.
What do these people have in common?
These are kind of Wholehearted people.
What they had in common:
1. Courage - to be imperfect
2. Compassion - to be kind to themselves first and then to others
3. Connection - as a result of authenticity - they were willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who they were
4. Vulnerability - they fully embraced vulnerability

We numb vulnerability.

We live in a vulnerable world. And one of the ways we deal with it, is, we numb vulnerability.

The problem is you cannot selectively numb emotion.

Why and how we numb?
1. We make the uncertain, certain.
2. We perfect.
And we perfect, most dangerously, our children.
"You are imperfect and you are wired for struggle but you are worthy of love n belonging."
3. We pretend

But there is another way and I'll leave you with this:
1. To let ourselves be seen.
2. To love with our whole hearts even though there is no guarantee.
3. To practice gratitude n joy. To feel vulnerable means I'm alive.
4. To believe that we're enough. "I am enough".
