Connection is why we are here from "summary" of Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
In the midst of the chaos and busyness of our lives, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. And what truly matters, according to Brene Brown, is connection. Connection is at the core of our existence. It is the reason why we are here. We are wired for connection, to be in relationship with others. It is through our connections with others that we find meaning, joy, and fulfillment in life. When we are connected to others, we feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. We feel seen, heard, and understood. We feel valued for who we are, not for what we do or accomplish. Connection allows us to be vulnerable and authentic, to show up as our true selves without fear of judgment or rejection. It is through our connections with others that we experience love, compassion, and empathy. On the flip side, when we lack connection in our lives, we feel isolated, lonely, and disconnected. We may try to fill the void with busyness, material possessions, or unhealthy relationships, but nothing can truly replace the deep connection we crave. Without connection, we struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives. We may feel like we are just going through the motions, without any real sense of fulfillment or satisfaction. To truly live a wholehearted life, we must prioritize connection in our lives. We must cultivate relationships that are based on trust, respect, and vulnerability. We must be willing to show up and be seen, even when it is scary or uncomfortable. We must be open to giving and receiving love, compassion, and empathy. When we prioritize connection, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and opportunities for growth and transformation. So, let us remember that connection is why we are here. It is what gives our lives meaning and purpose. It is what allows us to truly live and thrive. Let us nurture our connections with others, and in doing so, nurture ourselves. Let us be brave enough to show up and be seen, to be vulnerable and authentic. Let us embrace the power of connection and all the beauty and joy it brings into our lives.
