Such an important but sometimes tough thing to stay true to.
It’s often easier to just tell a white or perhaps even darker lie. To skirt around how you really think and feel.
But even though it might be tough there is also so much to be gained from being more honest both with yourself and the people in your life:
The more honest you can be with yourself the easier it will be to be who you deep down want to be but also to improve aspects of your life that are truly in need of that.
The more honest you are with both yourself and others the more your self-respect, your relationships and your confidence in yourself will improve.
So in this post I’d like to share the most thought-provoking and uplifting quotes and thoughts on honesty from the past 2000+ years.
It’s one of those things I didn’t really understand the point of when I was younger.
But with age and time I learned how important it was for me to stay sharp, to keep moving forward in life, to be kinder and to not create problems for myself by thinking I was better and smarter than I actually was.
That’s what I’ve gained from that sobering humility. But today I’d like to share not only the impact it has had on my own life but also the best quotes I have found about humility.
The top timeless thoughts about staying humble and not getting lost in pride or arrogance but to stay grounded in true humility and reality.
Brené Brown is a lecturer and professor at The University of Houston but she’s more well known for her 5 New York Times best-seller books and her Ted Talk “The Power of Vulnerability” that has over 54 million views so far.
And this week I’d like to share my favorite quotes from her.
Insightful, thought-provoking and practically helpful thoughts on happiness, shame, vulnerability, courage and more.
I hope you’ll find these Brené Brown quotes as helpful as I have.
With more compassionate thoughts and actions you can live a kinder, happier and more loving life.
So today I’d like to share a collection of the top compassion quotes of all time.
In this post you will for example learn:
Why self-absorption makes us unhappier (and also kills our capacity for compassion).
What compassion means for building deeper relationships.
How to be more self-compassionate and kind to yourself.
These thoughts that stretch back over 2400 years in time is the timeless wisdom of the people who walked this earth long before us (and some who are still with us here today).
