Brene Brown quote

“We make everything that is uncertain, certain. Religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty: ‘I’m right, you’re wrong--shut up.’ This is what politics looks like today. There’s no discourse anymore, there’s no conversation. But there is another way…. To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen…. To love with our whole hearts even though there is no guarantee… To practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror…. To believe that we’re enough, because when we work from a place that says 'I’m enough,' we stop screaming and we start listening. We’re kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we’re kinder and gentler to ourselves.” ~Brene Brown
