Are you defined by your mistakes?
The answer is no. You are much greater than any mistake.
Guilt arises when we feel bad about something we've done, signaling that our actions don’t align with our values. It can motivate us to make amends or change our behavior. Shame, on the other hand, is the feeling that something is inherently wrong with us as a person. While guilt focuses on behavior, shame targets our sense of self-worth, often leaving us stuck in a negative cycle. Understanding the difference can help us approach mistakes with compassion and self-growth, rather than feeling defeated or unworthy.
Guilt is Beautifully Authentic

-
Encourages Accountability: Guilt prompts us to take responsibility for our actions, allowing us to make amends and rebuild trust in our relationships.
-
Strengthens Moral Compass: Guilt serves as a signal that we’ve acted against our values, reinforcing our ethical standards.
