Healthy shame is an emotion that teaches us about our limits. Like all emotions, shame moves us to get our basic needs met.

Children are natural Zen masters; their world is brand new in each and every moment.

Guilt says I've done something wrong; ... shame says there is something wrong with me. Guilt says I've made a mistake; ... shame says I am a mistake. Guilt says what did was not good; ... shame says I am no good.

It is a mark of soulfulness to be present in the here and now. When we are present, we are not fabricating inner movies. We are seeing what is before us.

Hell, in my opinion, is never finding your true self and never living your own life or knowing who you are.
