Negative shame is accompanied by guilt and self-denigration, it is pointless and no help to us, in fact it will cause us harm. Positive shame is when we have harmed ourselves or anyone else and feel sorry for having done so; this allows us to grow from our mistakes.
If we want to be successful, pay attention to the small things. If we are waiting for the big thing, the small chances slip right by us. Do not wait for the perfect opportunity to do something big, pay attention to the small things, they may grow to be big things.
Realize that all things change, then there is nothing you will try to hold on to. You cannot control the future; you might as well relax into it and accept it no matter what it brings. There is an ancient tale that says whatever happens, you look at it without judgement and say, “some good some bad”.
Difficulties and obstructions throw a man back on himself. Do not blame others for your mistakes, look for the errors within yourself, and through this introspection, any obstruction becomes an occasion for inner enrichment and education.
