What is it to dare greatly?
“It is not the critic who counts…
the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…
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” -Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Scarcity- the “never enough culture”
“When I look at narcissism…I see the shame-based fear of being ordinary.”
Vulnerability
“Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center,
of meaningful human experiences.”
It is weakness.
We can practice vulnerability alone.
It is the same as over sharing.
It is avoidable.
Myths about vulnerability
Demystifying Shame
It is not guilt, embarrassment or humiliation.
Everyone experiences it.
No one wants to talk about it.
The more we avoid it, the more it controls us.
It is highly correlated with addiction, violence, depression, and eating disorders.
Combatting Shame with Shame Resilience
Four elements
that shame resilient people have:
1. Awareness of triggers
2. Reality check the source
3. Seek empathy from others
4. Vocalize feelings and needs
“Culture is less about what we want to achieve and more about who we are.”
Put on your own mask first!
“Daringly greatly is ...uncomfortable …dangerous …puts us at risk of feeling hurt …(but) nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as …wondering what it would be like if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.”
