I thought this was a good quote about shame we could all benefit from:
So much life force is imprisoned below our shackles of shame. Don't listen to the wardens. They are imprisoned, too. Free yourself. You are the only one who can. Open your inner gifts. Hide no light under a bushel. Know that you are here for a reason. Honor your magnificence. When we realize what a treasure we are, it all changes. It really does. Treasure yourself ~Jeff Brown
