I was a magnet for people telling me what to do. Most everyone has an opinion about what you should do. It takes a strong resolve to become clear and stay true to your inner guidance system. I had to become aware that guilt was literally running my life. It took several years and some painful mistakes to overcome this disease of the mind, but I did.
Many people feel shame for no reason other than the misplaced opinion of others.
Guilt has no virtue. Operating out of obligation and guilt lacks integrity. No one can walk in your shoes. No one can live your life. If you can make amends, do so.
