Guilt

Guilt as a motivator

There are times when we have to accept a project/position for various reasons.

In an effort to do a good job, focusing on the promise we make, is good. But sometimes, other things could get in the way of doing a great job. It is common to feel like we owe the people who had given us this chance. When deviating from the plan or the responsibilites of work, we can use guilt as a motivating factor to keep us on track. It can remind us that we have to do a better job and prove the people that gave us such good opportunities right.

Feeling guilty isn’t so bad after all.

We may end up feeling glad that we take those opportunities. It may turn out to be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

When opportunities presents themselves, there is no need to feel guilt, or that we “owe” anyone or any kind of pressure. If we feel such pressure, we need to try and turn that emotion into a weapon and do good with it. We need to take the opportunity if it will benefit us and we need to make the most out of it. Later on, if we can do the same for another person and uplift them, that’s how we can really pay back to the community.
