One of the most terrifying monsters sabotaging your success and happiness is called: guilt.
The dictionary definition of guilt is,
Guilt, from O.E. gylt "crime, sin, fault, fine, debt,", derived from O.E. gieldan "to pay for, debt." The mistaken use for "sense of guilt" is first recorded 1690. "Guilt by association" is first recorded in 1941. "Guilty" is from O.E. gyltig, from gylt.
There are so many kinds of guilt. Guilt of success. Guilt for association. Guilt for omission. Guilt for choosing between 2 evils. Survivor's guilt.
Guilt is the mirror of love. If you feel guilt, you are called towards love. In fact, I would go so far to say that if you feel guilt, you are loving. Because you see there is just one kind of people who don't feel guilt: the psychopaths. Psychopaths don't have ability of empathy, in other words, of love.
Years ago I committed a mortal sin. I was truly terrified. I was about to quit church because I thought God would never forgive me. A great friend of mine introduced me to an amazing priest. I asked to have confession with him. I told him the story of my mortal sin. I told him of my fears. He burst in laughter. He told me that God already moved on. He already forgave me. The only thing needed was for me to forgive myself.
That's the philosopher stone that transmutes guilt into gold, into love: forgiveness.
