Shame. Everybody has it. Nobody wants to talk about it. However, the less we talk about it, the more power it actually has over us. Moreover, shame goes to the core of our being and can make us feel as if there is something inherently wrong with us-that we are just not good enough. And, when you are in shame, you are not able to see the bigger picture. You feel alone, exposed, deeply flawed and want to isolate or to hide. Today, it is time to shine a light on your shame-on the things you have done or been that you continue to hold onto and hide from the world-and then let them go. Today, acknowledge, forgive, and let go. You may want to share your "secrets" with someone you trust and by doing so, you may find that you are not alone in your shame and that what you are most shameful about really in the light of day isn't so bad, after all. You may discover that your shame has less power over your present moment. You just might find that you are in truth good enough.

Just for today, I am perfectly happy to be me. I am good enough just as I am. I love and approve of myself. I am joy expressing and receiving. I forgive myself and I set myself free. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
