Jen D.:

This is the advice Brene Brown says she would give her 25 year old self:  “. . . and my 25 year old self would have flipped me off for saying this, but . . . all the pleasing and perfecting that you’re doing is getting in the way of what you’re supposed to be doing.  . . . You can never live the life that you want to live and not disappoint other people.  You’ll need to choose now.  . . . You’re gonna piss some people off.  You’re gonna let some people down if you’re yourself. . . “

“BRENE BROWN: You have something that only you can bring to the world.  . . . and if you try to keep everyone around you happy while you’re bringing it, you will not bring it.  And not utilizing your gifts?  That is dangerous.

CHASE JARVIS:  I ask people to try and find pictures that only they can take.  What is a picture that literally only you can take?  Anyone can take a picture of the Grand Canyon.  Yup, so don’t take a picture of the Grand Canyon. . . . What is a story that only you have access to? . . . In the particular lies the universal.”
