According to Brene Brown, “Courage “ is to share all of yourself with your whole heart. An act of courage is an act of story telling. “Courage “ comes from the Latin word cour (heart).
Brene Brown shared the following thoughts with Oprah on her interview on YouTube.
Your Ego is the hustler; it says that you have no inherent worth. Our culture measures how many likes you get. We’re never enough. We’re afraid, especially after 911. We shifted from being alert and afraid to bickering and snarking. Fear has been internalized. We have a thin film of terror which says, “I Am Not Enough.”
The number one casualty is Vulnerability. It’s the birthplace of everything. There is not Creativity without failure so you’ve got to be open enough to fail. That takes courage.
