Guilt addresses what I did wrong; shame screams, I am wrong!

Thursday’s Life Coaching Truth

Thanks for joining me for Thursday’s Life-Coaching Truth. One of the major differences between guilt and shame is that guilt addresses the act while shame attacks the person.

Let me give you an example: When you get a traffic ticket – I’ve had many – you pay the fine, maybe even go to traffic school and it’s done, paid for.  The act was whatever caused you to receive that ticket.

Shame, however, works differently; it is internal because of something external, and it requires a deeper work. Shame is one of the enemy’s oldest tools in his box of tricks that he uses to keep us from accepting the gift of grace, the gift that has already paid for every act.
