Your Guilt Has Gone Too Far


Listen Later

Description: In this powerful episode, we explore the purpose of guilt- not as a punishment, but as a mercy. Guilt is meant to guide you, not paralyze you. When it pulls you toward growth, it fulfills its role. But when it drags you into self-hate, it’s gone too far.

Using the metaphor of touching a hot stove, we reflect on how guilt, like pain, exists to protect and realign us. Without it, our souls would suffer silently. This episode is a call to meet guilt as a friend, not a prison guard- and to take one gentle step back toward who you're meant to be.

Reflection of the Day: What’s one thing you feel guilty about — and what small, realistic step can you take to respond to it with growth instead of shame?

Examples:

  • You snapped at a loved one - text them a kind compliment today.
  • You’ve missed prayers - start with just one today.
  • You said something in anger - admit it to yourself without excuses.
  • You keep avoiding responsibilities - tackle the smallest task that brings the least dread.
  • You hurt someone years ago - make a sincere du’a for them, or donate even $1 in their name.

Let guilt guide you, not define you.
