The dirty one said, “I am too ashamed.”
The water replied, “How will your shame be washed away without me?”
(Rumi)

I am letting go of my shame!

By acknowledging my shameful behavior, positive growth will occur!

End your affirmation by saying:

"I give thanks that this or something better is in the Divine
flow of my life and is manifesting perfectly for me now
according to the Divine will of [the Universe]." by KG Stiles

INSPIRATIONAL/MOTIVATIONAL:

Be yourself. There is nothing more for you to do than to be the best YOU that you can be - with no imitation, no pretense, no guilt, no shame. (Jonathan Lockwood Huie)


ACHIEVEMENT/SUCCESS:

Shame and guilt are noble emotions essential in the maintenance of civilized society, and vital for the development of some of the most refined and elegant qualities of human potential. (Willard Gaylen)


LOVE:

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself. (Drew Barrymore)


PERSEVERANCE:

Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is. (Benjamin Franklin)


WISDOM/UNDERSTANDING:

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.
(John Bradshaw)


INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER:

Self-condemnation, shame, and guilt send your true nature into hiding.   It's only in the safety of gentle curiosity, encouragement, and self-love that your soul can bloom as it was created to do. (Sue Patton Thoele)


SPIRITUAL:

To be able to love and live in freedom means to be able to make godly decisions. To make godly decisions we have to surrender our egos and all the falsity and shame that goes with it. (James McGreevey)


POSITIVE THOUGHT:

You know what: rip me off once, shame on me. But twice? I'm coming after you and taking back what's mine! (Billy Mays )


THOUGHT TO PONDER:

Share whatever it is you're ashamed about. You may think you can hide your shame by not talking about it, but in reality, it's your shame that's hiding you. (Adam Appleson)

Blessings!
