1 Thing You Can Do This Week …
(To Escape Shame)
Shame can visit, but it must not spend the night.
Shame is welcome to come and remind us of our weaknesses and lead us to repentance as long as it packs its bags and gets the hell out of our way so we can step out and be born again.
You will never fully comprehend your potential as long as shame is hanging off of you–dragging you back to the past.
The Past Won’t Last
The past offers no nutrition for your present, and limits your prospects for the future.
The one thing you can do to escape shame is:
Talk about it and walk out of it
Anything we’re able to discuss, confess, reveal or admit loses its power to choke off our breath and life.
When we’re silent or we claim that something is too painful to speak, we cripple ourselves and paralyze all of our God-force. You’re never going to be able to walk out of something if you’re crippled.
If you are still telling the story of something that happened to you two years ago, and it brings tears to your eyes, you are in the grip of shame and it will not allow you to be successful.
Literally, the more you talk about it the less you will need to talk. And the less you need to talk, the more you can walk.
If there is shame in your life, grab one, two, three or as many people as you can tolerate, and tell them about it. Tell them until you don’t cry anymore, but instead, gain an introspection and insight that empowers you instead of diminishes you.
Then you can boldly stand and say, “It happened. But I’m happening. Therefore, this will happen.”
