We all, over the course of time, have felt shame.  Maybe you are divorce, fired from a job, made fun of as a kid, or your business failed.   

     So you feel shame.  Then, the feeling of shame cascade into the belief that you are a failure!  The voice in your head starts repeating over and over, “I failed at my marriage, I failed at my job, my business and I’m a loser!” The negative thinking keeps going and your ego joins the choir and calls you all kind of names….the cycle of shame continues.

     BUT!  Did you really fail?

     Or ….did you just missed warning signs the Universe sent?  The tiny nudge before you got married that maybe he not the spouse for you???  Or having trouble getting up in the morning because you hate your job?  Or eating to mask your feelings of how sad you are? 

You loved owning your own business but the business did not work out for you…was it was the wrong business for you???  Was it the wrong time for you to be starting a business?  Did you like the freedom of owning a business but hated all the “BS” that comes with owning a business?

     The Universe sends out warning signs, messages, when you are heading in the wrong direction.  Signs for you to make a change. 

     We chose to ignore these signs for a whole host of reasons.  After a few missed signs the Universe then steps in to “guide” you onto a new path.  This guidance may be subtle or it maybe it will be like a hammer. 

     Either way the Universe will get your attention.

     Moral of the story – there is not reason to EVER feel shame or failure. Just remind yourself that you were not where you were suppose to be at that time. 

     Take it as a “course correction” and move forward.
