“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. This is the passage that made the speech famous: Daring Greatlyis a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.“The phrase Daring Greatly is from Theodore Roosevelt’s speech “Citizenship in a Republic.” The speech, sometimes referred to as “The Man in the Arena,” was delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena-whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.”ĭaring Greatly is not about winning or losing.
Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brené Brown PhD, LMSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.īrown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. ”-Theodore RooseveltĮvery day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. 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.
