I really ❤️ @brenebrown and her research and writing. While listening to her newest book, “Braving the Wilderness”, on audible, I was really struck by the following passage: “Belonging is the innate human desire to be a part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire by fitting in and by seeking approval - which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging but often barriers to it because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic and perfect selves to the world. Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” #cheers to living an #authentic life full of #selflove and #selfacceptance 🥂😘 #truebelonging #connection #loveyourself It’s easier said than done, but so worth it!!!
