TED Talk Brene Brown: The Power in Vulnerability

She discovered something very important, “Connection is why we are here, it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives”….

She also found that those who felt connected experienced “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”.

In fact, she proposes that you have to do this in order to feel connected. Those who fully embraced their vulnerability, believed that it is the very thing that made them beautiful. They understood that vulnerability was a necessary part of life and they were willing to go there.

They were also willing to stop controlling and predicting…. are you?

Her studies found that letting go of controlling and predicting was the “birthplace of joy, creativity, belonging and love”.
