Tuesday’s Life-Coaching Truth
This past week in our Life-coaching experience to learn how to live forgiven and forgiving, we discovered three differences between guilt and shame. Let me share two of them with you now:
Guilt is about the act, in other words, external actions, while shame is internal and requires a deeper work.
Guilt can lead to positive change; shame steers us away from change, and without that change, we are unable to connect with others healthily physically, emotionally and/or spiritually.
Guilt is about an act we know to be wrong and therefore, can work like a warning light on the dashboard of our minds, a steering wheel in the journey of life helping us to veer away from that same wrong, harmful and/or offensive act. It’s a nudging in our conscience, a whisper; Shame, on the other hand, is internal and screams I am wrong. What’s at the end of shame? M.E.!
Shame is not from the Father who loves you in and out of all your guilt and shame.
Truthfully,
Kim-Evinda
