The first thing that came across my mind when I woke up today was this question, “How easily guilt takes over us completely (Be it business or some other aspect of life) when it gets stuck in our mind??”. This is something what happens with us and we are unaware of it. We are unable to identify and release ourselves from that unwanted feeling of self-accusation and fail to create the desired results and learn to live with that guilt whole of our life.
A few months ago, I had a session with a partly successful entrepreneur, ‘partly successful’ because he was capable of accomplishing much more but he was lagging behind. During our conversations he revealed that his business was not expanding over its current dimensions from a large span of past 10 years though he was capable of expanding that business to a much larger extent as he was highly skilled, had vast knowledge, contacts and even opportunities were available.
So WHAT was holding him back?
Answering to one self-inquiry, “On a scale of 1 to 10, how much you deserve to be successful?” and he said 6.
He, surely, was accusing himself for something when he graded himself only 6 on deserving scale. When our conversations reached some depth, he could see deep into his memories that one incident when he had done something wrong, long back, and he was holding that ‘I am not a good person because I did hurt someone’, this was the guilt which was holding him back to take the focused actions for his business growth and was having the experience of low self worth. Subconsciously, He felt guilty all the time, used to blame himself, which had an intense and adverse impact on his performance about which he was not even aware of. He wasn’t being able to give his best in his profession though he wanted to. So, things started to fall apart and he got demotivated and there was struggle within.
Forgiving is a difficult but very powerful access to get free from these stuck subconscious level negative energies. Realising that he didn’t have to carry the burden of that guilt anymore because this only keeps on getting worse, he chose to lead a life free from that guilt, and he chose to set himself free from that regret. After a few minutes of our conversations, he was able to forgive himself completely and get free from the burden of that guilt which created the experience of freedom, aliveness and peace which was evident from his approach, actions in his business there on.
“I heard a voice that told me that I’m essential. How all my fears are limiting my potential. Said it’s time to step into the light and use every bit of power I have inside.”
- India Arie
Look at your mistakes, which you committed knowingly, unknowingly, under certain compelling situations in the past. See if there is any impact of those mistakes on you, in your relationships, in your experiencing life, in your, professional or business growth.
Maybe, It’s time now to take the responsibility and get free from these guilt or you may have that remorse forever, forcing you to shrink yourself into some undeserving, negligible beings, which you, certainly, are not. You are what your highest potential is, and not the limited one which got created out of your own experiences of early part of your life. You can achieve all that you desire faster when you resolve this, and don’t you dare think for a second that you don’t deserve it because you do.
And remember,
“It’s never late to be who you might have been.”
