How to live with a ‘whole’ heart: #Justice4Australia

“There are no prerequisites to worthiness.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Shame is the most powerful master emotion. It is the fear we are not enough.”- Dr Brené Brown 1/ ❤️

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Loving ourselves through owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do.” - Dr Brené Brown 2/ ❤️

“Our worthiness, that critical piece that gives us access to love and belonging, lives inside our story.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Vulnerability is at the core, the centre, of meaningful human experiences.” - Dr Brené Brown 3/❤️

“I define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. To be human is to be in vulnerability.” ❤️

“Vulnerability is not weakness; and that myth is profoundly dangerous. Vulnerability is the birth place of creativity, innovation and change.” - Dr Brené Brown 4/ ❤️

“Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” ❤️

“You can’t get to courage without walking through vulnerability.” - Dr Brené Brown 5/ ❤️

“They [the wholehearted] believed that what made them vulnerable made them beautiful. They didn’t talk about vulnerability being comfortable, nor did they really talk about it being excruciating. They just talked about it being necessary.” - Dr Brené Brown 6/ ❤️

“They talked about the willingness to say “I love you” first. The willingness to do something when there are no guarantees. The willingness to invest in a relationship that may or may not work out.” - Dr Brené Brown 7/ ❤️

“When perfection is driving, shame is always riding shotgun.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Empathy is the antidote to shame.” - Dr Brené Brown 8/❤️

“Empathy is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of “you are not alone.” - Dr Brené Brown 9/❤️

“The two most powerful words when we are struggling: “me too”. - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“Shame cannot survive being spoken... and being met with empathy.” - Dr Brené Brown 10/ ❤️

“Connecting is the energy created between people when they are seen, heard and valued - when they can give and receive without judgment.” ❤️

“Call it a clan, a network, a tribe, a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” - Dr Brené Brown 11/ ❤️

“How much we know and understand ourselves is critically important, but there is something that is even more essential to living a wholehearted life: loving ourselves.” ❤️

“Don’t try to win over the haters; you are not a jackass whisperer.” - Dr Brené Brown 12/ ❤️

“The dark does not destroy the light 💡; it defines it. It is our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.” - Dr Brené Brown 13/ ❤️

“My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, creativity to name a few.” - Dr Brené Brown 14/ ❤️

“We are hardwired to connect with others. Its what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.” - Dr Brené Brown ❤️

“You are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” - Dr Brené Brown 15/❤️

“What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.” ❤️

So... I would then say:

“Live with a whole heart.” - Dr Brené Brown 16/ ❤️ #Justice4Australia

Thinking about India 🇮🇳 It’s own people and the stranded Aussies. I got a call at 4am from my friend I met there when I went to see the Dalai Lama. He said the situation is devastating. He said he’s seen over 100 people die each day. Half of the bodies are left dead 1/6

because people are either too scared to catch the virus or they cannot afford to cremate them. He said most of the paramedics are good. However, one paramedic just chucks each body on the ground once he realises the person is dead. My friend said one of these bodies 2/6

was the father of a 13 and 15 year old who watched the paramedic just dump their dead father next to the river. My friend helped the children and made sure their father was looked after in a dignified manner for their last moments together. 3/6

Why identity and privilege matter: Yesterday in Sydney Morning Herald Lakita Bourke (2021) wrote:“Prime Minister Scott Morrison says identity politics and the moral corrosion caused by the misuse of social media are forces seeking to undermine society.” 1/56 #Justice4Australia

“Mr Morrison made the remarks in a speech – in which he repeatedly referred to his Pentecostal faith – called “the responsibility of citizens in building community to achieve national success”. Morrison told an audience “as citizens, we cannot allow what we think we are 2/56

@OmarjSakr

entitled to, to become more important than what we are responsible for.” So what is identity politics, how does it relate to entitlement and responsibility, and why does Morrison think it undermines society? Bisexual Muslim Poet @OmarjSakr (2017) commented for SBS: 3/56

Wisdom from Sadhguru: “People care for their own little pleasure more than for everyone’s wellbeing. That is what we have to change in the world. What does an unlimited amount of wealth mean to a man who has a limited amount of time. 1/34 #Justice4Australia

The fight against corruption has to start within you, as integrity is an inner quality. Integrity is not a bunch of values or ethics. Integrity is the coherence between how you are, how you think, and how you act. 2/34

There is no substitute for a conscious, responsible behavior. If you learn to use the tools of body, mind, emotions, and energy by choice, you will naturally become a very impactful human being. 3/34

What is #Justice4Australia? I joined Twitter to see if Trump would win or lose the US election. I had not watched the news or followed politics for years; too much, too soon had made me unwell: Psychosis. I saw Trump’s tweets and thought, ‘Is this guy for real!? 1/36

I had no clue then I would be thanking him now. Trump introduced me to the wonderful world of Twitter; incredibly talented minds constantly fact checking his tweets. Journalists, lawyers, doctors, psychologists, professors. Others with no qualifications equally impressive. 2/36

It was so refreshing to read quality responses, to see humour used to make people feel safe in a world seemingly, increasingly mad, and available to people all around the world for free. I did not know Tharnicaa and Kopika would bring me towards 3/36

Dalai Lama: “On Earth Day 2021, I appeal to my brothers and sisters throughout the world to look at both the challenges and the opportunities before us on this one blue planet that we share. I often joke that 1/10 #Justice4Australia

the moon and stars look beautiful, but if any of us tried to live on them, we would be miserable. This planet of ours is a delightful habitat. Its life is our life, its future our future. Indeed, earth acts like a mother to us all. Like children, we are dependent on her. 2/10

In the face of such global problems as effect of global heating and depletion of ozone layer, individual organizations and single nations are helpless. Unless we work together, no solution can be found. Our mother earth is teaching us a lesson in universal
responsibility. 3/10
