It’s a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are. I have started to believe that crying with strangers in person could save the world. Worse, our discomfort shows up in ways that can hurt people and reinforce their own isolation. Not enough of us know how to sit in pain with others. But the key is that, in any given moment of it, it has to be real. Never underestimate the power of being seen. Pain that is denied or ignored becomes fear or hate. Sometimes the most dangerous thing for kids is the silence that allows them to construct their own stories-stories that almost always cast them as alone and unworthy of love and belonging.Ĭourage is forged in pain, but not in all pain.
When we own our emotion, we can rebuild and find our way through the pain.
The reward is great.īut what we know now is that when we deny our emotion, it owns us.
Into the wilderness brene brown free#
You are only free when you realize you belong no place-you belong every place-no place at all. True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. True belonging and self-worth are not goods we don’t negotiate their value with the world. You will always find it because you’ve made that your goal. Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you’re not enough. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission. Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. We have to step out from behind the barricades of self-preservation and brave the wild.
