You are powerful. Your ability to create and focus your attention and energy is phenomenal. And I really mean that. You can create phenomena. Just simply by visualizing an outcome, it can occur. That focus, on what you want, begins shifting energy within you. When the energy shifts, everything else can too. I would venture [...]
standing here looking in your eyes I fully see the person you once were and the person you are now. The full weight of all the changes you have made are fully visible to me now. I see how hard you have worked. I see how hard you have cried. I see the anger and [...]
The heart is wise. There is a deep intelligence that lives in the centre of the heart. The heart chakra governs our love, compassion, but also our deep reservoir of wisdom. The union of the power and stability of the earth, with the lightness and energy of the sky. That all happens within the heart. [...]
There is a sound the Universe makes. It is a deep hum. Listen now. Listen until you hear the listening. Only then will you hear it. When you hear it, it is unmistakable. It's voice vibrates your atoms. It blurs the edges of the concept of 'you'. Me. I. In the stillness, allow the waves [...]

Brené Brown is just friggen awesome. Every single time I watch this video on shame, I get chills.
