When we reduce our own guilt and shame, it allows us to reduce the judgment we feel toward others. It has been a really important healing in our marriage. For me, and i've talked about how i struggle with tenacity, it's one of my frustrations. And since, you know, we we discover this model and everything, i've actually gotten a lot more effective working in that area. Just s i know what it is, i understand why i'm not good at it.
We all tell ourselves that we should be better at certain aspects of our work or in certain areas of our life. However, if we aren't naturally inclined to enjoy and thrive within those areas, to 'should' on ourselves is a recipe for unnecessary guilt and shame.
