Key Takeaways:

Dr. Brene Brown’s TedxHouston Talk “The Power of Vulnerability” has been viewed over 36 million times.  She talks about connection and struggles and discovering what people who have a strong sense of worthiness have in common.  What she found is that people who have a strong sense of love and belonging, who believe they’re worthy of love and belonging, embrace their vulnerability.  They have the courage to do something when there are no guarantees.

Reflecting his own fears, failures, and missed opportunities.  Helping him with a scholarship application for his grandson, I reminded him that this was not a formula or a box-checking exercise; they wanted to know what he felt about his grandson.  He took a leap of faith and got real.

He did something really special for his grandson, and it took a lot of courage.  He did it for his grandson, where he would not do it for himself. Sometimes, we will do more for others than we will do for ourselves.

Father G and his work with gang members in LA’s Boyle Heights.  Our deepest, most profound need as humans is to know that we are capable of loving others and that we are worthy of being loved.

Remember: Always err on the side of love & kindness.

Love & Gratitude,

Rob
