For those of you reading this comment, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up,
As an artist this is spot on. My sister once told me I’m equal to art in target or home goods. I deserve target prices. It’s he’d me back and got me off my path. I’m know now I’m worthy. I actually had art in a museum at age 17. I lost a lot of time but I learned boundaries and self care. I’m painting again.
As always, it was an excellent presentation by Brené Brown, the hard reality I learned from years of working in a corporate role is, that your co-workers are not your friends, never be loyal to any company, they will replace you overnight, and never change who you are just to fit in, always be your authentic self, remember bullies are not only in the playground but at work as well. Never stay in a dead-end job, if you are not happy, start planning, and start applying for other jobs, shut off social media, because you deserve to be happy, you matter, and you deserve to be respected.
I love that ! “If you’re in the cheap seats I’m in no way interested in your feedback!” Amen sister! Thank you for those words ! I’m going to use them 🙏
Brene you are wonderful! I'm in tears. I lost my mother at 2 & 1/2. At 5 I used to say, "They took my mommy away from me but they won't tell me why." As a child I armoured up and walled people off so people couldn't know my pain. The only person I trusted was my mom's neighbor and best friend. She understood me. Thank you Brene for courage to enter the arena once again. I've entered several arenas over the years always fighting to be appreciated but didn't understand.
She is absolutely spot on. When you become your authentic self and not live your life according to the way others want you to live, you will indeed get your A$$ kicked. And at times, kicked hard. But continue on your journey to be your authentic self. All things are working out for your good. It will set you free on a higher vibration. ❤❤
Brene, you deliver in a powerful way, you clear the road bring the clarity to the surface. You think where others can’t, and their cheap 2 cents are nothing more than reactions, which are actually boring to the rest of us. Keep being profound, thank you for your work!!
You didn't read the rest of it. The end of the speech is the very best part of the whole speech. I discovered this speech about a year ago and it bowled me over. I went to my computer and made posters of the speech to hand out to everyone I know
This piece really gets into me, especially when I'm feeling doubtful about myself. The "Arena" comes to mind when I am feeling people are trying to put me down for whatever reason. I hope this gets shown in schools, especially Jr. High and High School.
“When we stop caring what people think we lose our capacity for connection. When we become defined by what people think we lose our capacity to be vulnerable.” ♥
This is the most beautiful and inspiring thing I have heard in a long time , made me cry, made me smile, made me feel alive ❤️ ❤Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Preach gurl! I am showing up! I have goosies from your speech! You are award winning in my heart 💜 I have a lot of healing to do so Tysm for helping me to make sense ❤
Fascinated with your wisdom! I’m living my best life post divorce. Published a book on finding true WHOLENESS after divorce called “THE SUN ALWAYS PIERCES THROUGH” 🌧️ ☀️
🎉sister your comment lends credence to catapulting my brain dump/ book post divorce. 22 years, the “ughs “ that pop in head… Lord remove. I’d love to read your book. ☮️
Brené , you have inspired me for such a long time now and still I'm learning. Thank you so much. Thank Gpd or the Spirit there are so many good people in and out of the arena too, not only the critics😊
Oh my god you have made me cry , my dream for personal reasons is to participate in a ted talk one day brene and you have just inspired me so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanku so much god bless you 🙏🏻
So grateful you stopped caring what people think about you ❤and have been so vulnerable! We need more love and vulnerability with each other. That is how we will grow. 🙏🏻
Please don't do that, it's insulting to yourself, one day you won't care at all if somebody hate you cause it's their problem, not yours. Don't waste your energies on them, usually they hate themself.
Once again listening to it your words I realign thank you honestly I just got chills You're amazing I need to be reminded to be vulnerable because otherwise I'll just be a Metcalf lol
This is so helpful and true. But I dont have the 1 person to pick me up. Bad divorce. I thought he was my 1 person but really he was my destruction. So I'm learning to have only myself. It's hard and it's scary
You are so strong. I also had to be my one person. The one person who I thought was my person also abandoned me and destroyed my whole life. I had to completely rebuild my life. It was scary- but in the end because we did it by ourselves it means so much more. You got this.
Great video! I'd like to quote BB's speech in an academic paper of mine. Could you please provide the original source of her work that you referenced here? Thank you in advance!
Well I realized after my Dad died suddenly and unexpectedly that the only person in my life I had left to love me as described in this video is my mother. Not other family, not friends. I don't know what I'll do when she leaves this earth. It's a horrifying thought, but I know one day it'll be my reality. I have no idea how to be okay with this ... walking the earth alone, without love, for the rest of my life.
This was spot on. The images that accompanied her words were beautiful but curious why the majority of people in the images were men? Interesting. More curious than criticism.
A job, a task, a drive, other people's opinions about me DO Not HAVE MY Permission To influence my emotional state of being longer than 90 seconds. When someone has an option about you ask yourself, "Is this real about me right now?" If it is real how will I use it to move me in the direction I choose. If it is not real let it go. It is none of your business.
Thank you for sharing this! As I start the Fall semester as a creative instructor at the junior college level, I will be sharing this with all my students!!!
What am I interested in knowing is why out of the 79000 views only 2400 thought it was worth their while to truly tune into the message and give it the thumbs up?
The irony is that these hateful people who attacked Brene were the impetus for her having a life-changing shift and that shift then enabling her to grow and help countless millions. So, joke is on them. As they sit in their mother’s basements spewing hate while eating hoagies.
A person in mind can’t do heart honesty vulnerability exposing their soul & showing who they really are & live in their truth, only a human in heart can. It’s why people only in mind can only be in witchery, that is manipulate, control, deceive & avoid truths. That’s the karma & life experience that it is, until it’s destined to change.
Absolutely good, And be ready for the sequences. And it's possible that what I think is office politics is simply a case of different worldwide. I need to then ask what is it that they know that I do not. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m scared to go talk to them because I’m afraid that it will be the last time I get to. That I’ll be rejected and accused and sent away. But I guess it’s happened before and I’m still alive. It didn’t kill me but this one might
Taylor Swift invited her critics and gave free tickets to her Reputation tour. She’d been listening to the shitty things they’d been saying for years and wanted to show them that she took it heart and made the highest grossing tour in history. Then she did the Eras tour and made that tour the highest grossing in history.
About a 1/3 into this video I became quite distracted in that the majority of the imagery were men. I could barely hear the message anymore wondering why. I scrolled back through the video to see if I missed something but no, mostly men. Probably 95% men vs 5% women's images. I find that quite odd. I do like Brene Brown's messages. Just curious about the choice not to show women as surely it was a choice whether conscious or unconscious.
Men are most likely to not reach out,seek therapy or do self help.... It helps them to see other men who represent their internal struggles. Women will still come see the video because we're already trying to fix ourselves.

Absolutely.... I refuse to have any WHAT IFS in my life.... Great talk, thank you. 100% agree with everything...

Thank you! This is what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it. I like the part about the armor. Time to shed that❤️
Flying solo !! God is good 👍🏻
YEAH UBETYA
How so wonderful and lucky we all are, that YOU, showed up!
Thanks Brene for your Courage & Bravery to Always show Up. You are a Bright Light in this world.
Brene, you deliver in a powerful way, you clear the road bring the clarity to the surface. You think where others can’t, and their cheap 2 cents are nothing more than reactions, which are actually boring to the rest of us.
Keep being profound, thank you for your work!!
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts. You have been a hero in my life.❤
I have listened and shared this over and over❤️❤️❤️incredibly impactful!!!
You didn't read the rest of it. The end of the speech is the very best part of the whole speech. I discovered this speech about a year ago and it bowled me over. I went to my computer and made posters of the speech to hand out to everyone I know
Where can we find the whole thing?

Thank you for showing up.

So true. I will listen to this daily. I have to show up. You are an amazing role model
Preach gurl! I am showing up! I have goosies from your speech! You are award winning in my heart 💜 I have a lot of healing to do so Tysm for helping me to make sense ❤
“Comparisons are the thief of joy”
I sooo needed to hear this tonight!! Thank you, Brene!!! 💝
Shame, scarcity and comparison, so true! And it’s not necessarily comparing ourselves to others… it’s what we think we should have already obtained.

Brene, you are incredible. You are Gods gift to this century 🤗
I needed this so much today thank you!
Brené , you have inspired me for such a long time now and still I'm learning. Thank you so much. Thank Gpd or the Spirit there are so many good people in and out of the arena too, not only the critics😊
I appreciate hearing this again in my life today.
I needed this so much!

Loved this. Really resonated with me. Need to watch it again and again ❤
So grateful you stopped caring what people think about you ❤and have been so vulnerable! We need more love and vulnerability with each other. That is how we will grow. 🙏🏻
Absolutely the best I have listened to in my life ❤ I will take this to my heart, it will help me so very much in my life and what I do❤
I identify with the statement, "I am trying to win over the people who hate me."
Please don't do that, it's insulting to yourself, one day you won't care at all if somebody hate you cause it's their problem, not yours. Don't waste your energies on them, usually they hate themself.
Soo resonating... we are programed like that.. it takes effort to not do it
The men in the arena - LOVE IT! Inspirational ❤
Beautiful!
Brilliant!
So profound. I saved it and will listen to it again!

You are so strong. I also had to be my one person. The one person who I thought was my person also abandoned me and destroyed my whole life. I had to completely rebuild my life. It was scary- but in the end because we did it by ourselves it means so much more. You got this.

Great video! I'd like to quote BB's speech in an academic paper of mine. Could you please provide the original source of her work that you referenced here? Thank you in advance!

of men?
Amen 🙏
Thank you❤️
Wow🙌
THANK YOU GOD , YOU ARE SEATED AT MY LEFT AND IM AT YOUR RIGHT !
AMEN 🙏🏼 ❤
Great game!
Agreed. I call it "Teenage Wisdom", all these teens have great philosophies about life. Until they're actually living it...
Well I realized after my Dad died suddenly and unexpectedly that the only person in my life I had left to love me as described in this video is my mother. Not other family, not friends.

Love the message. Where's the women?
❣️
❤
I’m scared to go talk to them because I’m afraid that it will be the last time I get to. That I’ll be rejected and accused and sent away. But I guess it’s happened before and I’m still alive. It didn’t kill me but this one might

Humans. Why look for differences? That’s the issue - seeing everyone as a this or that. Comparison is a thief of joy.
That’s a fair question.
Who cares?
Another reason for her not to read the comments 😂
