Brené Brown is a professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her research focuses on shame, vulnerability, and leadership. It wasn’t until 2010 that she came into the spotlight by having a viral TED talk, titled ‘The Power of Vulnerability.’ She’s also the author of six New York Times Bestselling books.

Below are 46 memorable Brené Brown quotes to inspire you:

1. “What’s the greater risk? Letting go of what people think – or letting go of how I feel, what I believe, and who I am?” – Brené Brown

2. “Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.” – Brené Brown

3. “Here’s what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we’re worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.” – Brené Brown

4. “Hope is a function of struggle.” – Brené Brown

5. “I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage, or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.” – Brené Brown

6. “I now see that owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.” – Brené Brown

7. “Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor—the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant ‘To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.’ Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences—good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as ordinary courage.” – Brené Brown

8. “A crisis highlights all of our fault lines. We can pretend that we have nothing to learn, or we can take this opportunity to own the truth and make a better future for ourselves and others.” – Brené Brown

9. “Everyone wants to know why customer service has gone to hell in a handbasket. I want to know why customer behavior has gone to hell in a handbasket.” – Brené Brown

10. “Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’” – Brené Brown

11. “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” – Brené Brown

It’s as if we’ve divided the world into “those who offer help” and “those who need help.” The truth is that we are both.” – Brené Brown

40. “Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.” – Brené Brown

Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you’re not enough. You will always find it because you’ve made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you.” – Brené Brown

44. “Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.” – Brené Brown

45. “To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.” – Brené Brown

46. “DIG deep–get deliberate, inspired, and going.” – Brené Brown

Avoidance patterns, like procrastination, are the brain’s way of seeking momentary relief, often at the cost of long-term fulfillment. – Joel Brown

To overcome procrastination is to master the dance between the mind’s desire for comfort and the soul’s need for growth. – Joel Brown

Joel Brown Speaker & Coach on Procrastination

 

Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill. – Joel Brown

Procrastination is self-denial of your potential. You put your future at risk to avoid judgement. Real coaches know that in order for their client to remove this “perceived pain of the future” they must support their clients to accept and heal the pain experienced in the past. – Joel Brown

A purpose-driven individual knows how to conquer these seven flaws successfully: Oversleeping, blame, fear, jealousy, resentment, sloth, and procrastination. – Joel Brown

Your real issues:

– Your procrastination
– The junk food you eat
– Your lack of discipline
– Your self-doubt
– Your self-criticism
– Your lack of focus
– Your pride

Go to war with that. – Joel Brown

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Break the chain of procrastination. Every day, take a small step. Example: If you want to stop eating sugar, pick one day a week when you won’t eat any kind of sugar. Take it step by step from there. – Joel Brown

The bridge between ‘someday’ and ‘today’ is built with the bricks of discipline and the mortar of commitment. Start laying your bricks now. – Joel Brown

The cost of procrastination is the life you could’ve lived, the goals you could’ve achieved, and the person you could’ve become. Let’s invest in your future, starting now. – Joel Brown

Overcoming procrastination isn’t about finding more time; it’s about creating more purpose. Let’s ignite your purpose and watch time find you. – Joel Brown

Procrastination’s greatest lie is that there will always be a tomorrow. Let’s live and act with the urgency of today, for it’s the only guarantee we have. – Joel Brown

Your dreams don’t have a snooze button. Stop hitting ‘later’ and start living now. – Joel Brown

Waiting for the perfect moment is like fishing in a dry pond. Cast your net now, where the water is plentiful. – Joel Brown

“Procrastination is a silent assassin. Speak life into your goals with action.” – Joel Brown
