Shame is an unpleasant emotion or feeling caused due to the consciousness of being exposed about something that should have been kept private. In other words, Shame is caused when one does something that goes against the social norms though might not be wrong but because of people's preconceived opinions we feel bad.
Every human being at some point in their lives have felt ashamed of one thing or the other at least once in their life. "Social Media" which is one of the greatest inventions of man has made our lives accessible to others. Many of us live fake lives. Always competing and trying to better than others and when we don't get to validate ourselves we feel inferior and ashamed.
Do not give anybody the opportunity to make you feel ashamed for who you are, what you do, where you live or how you live your life. Below are a list of things you should never be ashamed of in your life.
1. Your Hustle
Do not be ashamed of your hustle, job or profession. If you go broke nobody will feed you or give you free money except your parents. It doesn't matter whether you're a mechanic, food vendor, bricklayer, tailor etc. You might be a carpenter and be earning better than a banker who is dressing corporate to office every morning.
So far you're able to put food on your table by doing something that is legit, do not let anyone make you feel bad about your hustle.
2. Your Past Mistakes
No one moves forward by thinking backwards. Can you mention one person who has never made any mistake in life? Absolutely No. Every human being have all made some mistakes at some point in their lives but the dangerous thing is letting those missteps deprive you of your happiness.
One thing you don't know is that those mistakes you once made have made you a better person and have shaped you into the amazing individual that you are today. .let go or your past, live in the present and hope for a better tomorrow.
3. Inability to Afford Some Things
This is one of the reasons why most people do terrible things in order to get money these days. You should never feel ashamed that you can afford something whether expensive or cheap at the moment.
Being truthful to yourself and people around you about the things you can afford like cars, clothes, houses etc helps reduce financial stress. Don't impress people in public and start suffering privately.

4. Your Dreams
Every successful person in life have been discouraged at some point in their life about their dreams and aspirations. If Dangote who's the richest man in Nigeria claimed that he'll be the richest man in his country someday who would believe him? Majority will not take him serious.
Don't let people discourage you that your dream is too big and impossible. Don't believe them.
5. Your Body
