182 – Make Guilt & Shame Work For You
As you listen, I really want you to consider your own stories. When did you learn these lessons? Can you remember? Sometimes digging up your own past can have great benefit, especially if you are made to remember that one singular moment in time when you learned something vital. It’s almost like learning it all over again. That…is the purpose of these stories. In fact, I think there is nothing quite so human as the hearing and telling of stories. It’s how our ancestors conveyed critical information from one generation to the next. The stories told around campfires the world over are what eventually shaped our species into what it is today. Today’s story, called Make Guilt & Shame Work For You, is an embarrassing story, for me. Because I reveal a time in my life when I wasn't too bright, and the consequences that came with that. The good news is, that guilt and shame can either consume you, or you can use them to make yourself better.
