" A clear way to see the difference is to think about this question: If you made a mistake that really hurt someone's feelings, would you be willing to say, 'I'm sorry. I made a mistake'? If you're experiencing guilt, the answer is yes: 'I made a mistake.' Shame, on the other hand, is 'I'm sorry. I am a mistake.'"
Brene Brown, "Life Lessons We All Need to Learn," Oprah Magazine, Feb. 2013
