Don’t feel guilty. A deep and often misplaced sense of guilt is the worst way to take criticism. When we feel guilty, we feel unhappy and it is like placing a large stone around our neck. If we avoid feelings of guilt, it is much easier to take a positive and constructive approach. If we can remain happy and detached, then we will have the inspiration to make a better effort. But, if we react to criticism with guilt and misery, it will compound any problem. (overcoming guilt) […]

The great spiritual master, Sri Ramakrishna said something most significant. He said “the person who goes around saying ‘I am a sinner, I am a sinner’ – this person will remain a sinner.” But, why maintain this attitude?

Nowadays I choose the opposite and do things that feed my soul.

Guilt is punishment enough, why do I need to further drain my resources to move on by punishing myself? Time for rest and reward is not just for achievements and celebrations. Actually, you need to treat yourself even nicer than usual, precisely when you make a mistake or experience a failure.
