Dare to be authentic from "summary" of Rising Strong by Brené Brown
Being authentic means cultivating the courage to be imperfect, to set boundaries, and to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. It means exercising the compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle. It means understanding that we are worthy of love and belonging. When we dare to be authentic, we align with our true selves and embrace our worthiness. Authenticity is not something we have or don't have; it's a practice - a conscious choice to show up and be real. It's about the choice to let go of who we think we should be and embrace who we are. Being authentic requires us to be vulnerable, to let go of what other people think, and to be true to ourselves. It means acknowledging our own emotions, thoughts, and experiences without judgement. It means letting go of the need to fit in or please others and instead, standing in our truth. Being authentic means living our values, even when it's hard, and being willing to have the tough conversations that come with being true to ourselves. It means being willing to be seen, even when it's scary, and to show up with our whole hearts. Daring to be authentic means being willing to take risks, make mistakes, and fail. It means being willing to try new things, to learn from our experiences, and to grow. It means being willing to be curious, ask questions, and seek understanding. Being authentic means being willing to be uncomfortable, to be challenged, and to face uncertainty. It means being willing to be honest, to be open, and to be vulnerable. Authenticity is not always easy, but it is essential for living a wholehearted life. When we dare to be authentic, we open ourselves up to deeper connections, greater joy, and more fulfilling relationships. We give ourselves permission to be imperfect and to embrace our vulnerability. We allow ourselves to be seen and to be loved for who we truly are. When we dare to be authentic, we step into our power and live with courage and compassion.
