Brené Brown: Why Your Critics Aren't The Ones Who Count

This talk by Dr. Brene Brown made my day... Its simply beautiful...
Falling short of words... Thank you so much...



It is not the critic who counts;

not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, 

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; 

who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; 

but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; 

who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

-Theodore Roosevelt (1910)

It is not about winning, it is not about losing. It is about showing up and being seen.

I want to show up and be seen in my work and in my life.

There's a couple things you need:
1. A real clarity of values.
2. A loved one (someone who loves you, not despite your imperfections and vulnerabilities, but because of them, and they should have great seats in the arena).

One of these seats need to be reserved for you.

The person who believes in what we're doing and why we're doing it, and the person who says, yeah its so scary to show up, it feels dangerous to be seen, its terrifying, but it is not as scary, dangerous or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and thinking what if I would've shown up, what would've been different?
