Shame is feeling bad about ourselves. Guilt is feeling bad about what we did. Shame is "I am a bad person". Guilt is "I did a bad thing. We need to realize that the feeling of guilt is more accurate and more healthy than the feeling of shame. We all screw up and feeling bad about it is normal but we don't need to feel about about ourselves. Feeling bad about ourselves is not helpful. When we make a bad decision, we need to learn from it but not let it define us. Every decision stands alone and we are as capable of making a right decision after making a wrong decision. “There’s no wrong time to make the right decision.”– Dalton McGuinty
