One of the biggest stumbling blocks we face when coming to terms with our own stories is a pervasive undercurrent of guilt. Many of the events in our lives – particularly the difficult ones – come with a lot of self-judgment. Of the things we could or should have done or said to ensure a different outcome. Of the words we left unsaid before a loved ones passing. Of the calls we didn’t make to mend a broken relationship with a friend. When the guilt is there under the surface, it makes finding and claiming the lesson in our story more difficult. And we get stuck in a never-ending circle.

“Guilt arises out of your past beliefs. But beliefs are merely acquired ideas. There is not ultimate truth to a belief. This simple understanding liberates you of guilt.” - Sen
