To be free of guilt, be free of yourself. Your guilt is not
going to make things any better. Cognitive action will. We all feel guilty of
our actions at times. We feel remorseful. And we seek forgiveness. When we are
not forgiven, we feel even more guilty. Guilt is a debilitating force. It can
make you feel depressed, pity for yourself and wasted.
There's no use allowing your conscience to be ridden by
guilt. The awakening that you have made a mistake is the first step to offload
your guilt. When you are awake to your misdemeanor or impropriety, you will
want to seek forgiveness. That's the right step forward. However, when you are
not forgiven by the other party, don't let your guilt and self-pity consume
you. Feel good that YOU recognize your mistake. Heal yourself by loving
yourself. Use that love as energy to propel you to affirmative action. Unless
you act on your resolve not to repeat the mistake or make good a situation, you
will not transform. The process of transformation requires you to not only
focus on what you WILL do but also on what you WILL NEVER do. Remember, you
can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. You HAVE to do it. And
you can't do it if you continue to feel guilty of your past actions. So, be
free, awake, arise and act!
