I just wanted to share some of my favourite Ted talks with you here.
These Ted talks by Brene Brown are so inspiring. In short, shame cannot survive when being shared (with someone worthy) and there is no courage without vulnerability. This is what Brene's research shows us and I am a true believer from examining my own experiences and others.
We cannot live life to the full without experiencing the kind of pain that comes from caring. Every time you care you are vulnerable as you also risk loosing that precious thing or person. It takes a great amount of courage to allow others to see who we really are, an imperfect human being, wanting to be loved and risk the painful feeling of rejection. Yet, if I could chose between both experiencing the pain and caring or none of them I would choose the former, hands down! I'd much rather live a life swinging between the highs of joy and pits of pain and sadness then living a life devoid of both.
Please comment and share!
