People closest to us think they're doing us a favor by questioning our motives. <br /><br />It's what we do with it that really creates the problem, if you think about it.

But the problem I tried to bring across is when our conscience goes into overdrive and pushes us down. Then it's not guiding us. It's trapping us in place.

When making a big life-change I think it's important to try to empathise with those closest to you - it's usually fear, not only for themselves but for your situation, that makes them question your actions and creates guilt.<br /><br />You can only be true to yourself if you are going to lead a successful and happy life.<br /><br />Insightful post.

Probably more often than not, as you pointed out, guilt is self-induced, a consequence of listening to everyone's voice but my own and therefore completely defeating. However, I think we are so quick to dismiss the pricks at our conscience that can also guide us and help us make morally conscious or service-related decisions. Not all guilt is bad. It's also a compass.
