I love TED. I'm not talking about the movie, I'm talking about TED. Ideas worth spreading. I don't fully understand the ins and outs of it, even after spending lots of time on their website and watching a ton of their talks, but here are the basics--TED is a conference that is done all of over the world where brilliant people go and give a 20 minute lecture on a profound idea. Check it out--www.ted.com or, the way I really got hooked on it, was the iPhone app.
I have found my first hero via TED. I have plenty of real life heroes--I have great people in my life. But the first person who exists that I don't know and who I want to learn from in a more personal way. Her name is Brené Brown. She has two TED talks and they are both fantastic. Google her!
Anyways, if you have 20 minutes, watch this video:
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html
And if you have another 20 minutes, watch "The Power of Shame".
Dr. Brown has her Bachelors, Masters, and PhD in Social Work and researches shame and vulnerability.
Her findings, much to her dismay, is that being vulnerable is worth it.
People are worthy.
Tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
Have compassion with yourself and others.
Connect as a result of authenticity.
Fully embrace vulnerability.
Be willing to say "I love you" first.
Be willing to do something with no guarantees, be willing to invest in a relationship.
Believe that you are enough.

"We pretend that what we do doesn't have an effect on people..." LOVE THIS and about a hundred other quotes. Great video! THANK YOU!
