pausing to wonder

 

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."      -- Albert Einstein

I'll be back next week!

WOW To do a TED talk which was viewed by over 3 million and then have it awarded a top ten spot is an amazing accomplishment. A second TED talk must be mind blowing... your whole heartedness,truth,honesty,enoughness will carry you through.Blow their minds Brene Brown !!!!!!

A really good article in the British Observer about TED 2012 entitled " 10 innovations that could help shape a better world." Your talk is one of the ten. Thought you would be interested in that The Observer is one of the serious, heavy hitting broadsheet Sunday newspapers in the UK.

Mysterious and beautiful together? I never thought about it like that before. Mysterious always was an adventure that crept anxiety in the space it held.

Brene when you get back can you answer this question? Can one really live wholeheartedly at work? With my own experiences, I am beginning to question that. Someone said to me today that only a "fool" believes wholeheartedness can be lived into the work place. Secretly, I think I'm a fool.

Enjoy the Ted Talks.
