Guilt

"When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. It is time to ask what can we do right, not what did we do wrong. Forgive yourself and move on."
Bernie S. Siegel

Are you carrying around a feeling of being guilty. Perhaps you were afraid to apologize to the other person for what you did to them. You just avoided them. But by doing that, you never got a chance to find out that they were not as mad at you as you thought they were. You never got a chance to releive yourself of that guilt, because you didn't discuss it with the other person.

When you feel guilty, it is time to talk to the other person. Apologize sincerely for your actions, and ask what you can do to make it up to them. If they are very hurt by whatever you did, they may be very angry at you, but it won't be as much as they would be if you didn't say or do anything about the problem. You will at least have cleared the air. You will have reached a mutual understanding. That's what is necessary if you are to forgive yourself and move on. You don't deserve to have guilt hanging over you. Deal with the situation as soon as it happens. Then you free yourself up for success.
