Inspiring Quotes from Berne Brown Netflix movie
Today my T had me watch the Netflix movie of a Phd who studies people fear, shame and etc. The had some very interesting quotes that I need to get in to my mind.
There was one she read really hit her was by Theodore Roosevelt,
Vulnerability is not weakness," "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward in the face of it," and "What we know matters, but who we are matters more." She also emphasizes the importance of belonging, connection, and authenticity in wholehearted living.
Here are some more of her impactful quotes:
There was one she read really hit her was by Theodore Roosevelt,
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
