Many hope we don’t get into a situation that makes us feel guilty. Of course life is difficult for everyone, and I’m not a stranger to this feeling.

Life doesn’t always make sense. I mean it doesn’t have to. Right? But, I sometimes feel we get stuck in a situation that forces us into making a difficult decision of which it might result in an unexpected outcome. Occasionally, those outcomes are favorable to most alternatives, but we have to make them.

I have been amazed by the power of Guilt. Like most negative things that have the potential to be used for something good. An example would be the stress being used to build self-confidence. What I’ll be talking here is using the feeling of Guilt to your advantage. Specifically, I’ll be talking about doing the yet unaccomplished tasks by feeding from a feeling inside you.

This method works better for people who easily feel guilty over most matters in life. I don’t recommend you to feel sad, I just want you to use any negative feeling to empower something deep inside you. So let’s begin.

Guilt

Here is a definition from Psychology Today:

Guilt is aversive and — like shame, embarrassment, or pride — has been described as a self-conscious emotion, involving reflection on oneself.
