I FEARED…
I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself…
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail when I don’t try…
I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself…
I feared people’s opinions
Until I learned that people will have opinions about me anyway
I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself…
I feared pain
Until I learned that it’s necessary for growth…
I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness of lies…
I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty…
I feared my destiny
Until I reaized I had the power to change my life…
I feared hate
Until I realized it was nothing more than ignorance…
I feared love
Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days…
I feared ridicule
Until I learned how to laugh at myself…
I feared getting old
Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day…
I feared the future
Until I realized that life just kept getting better…
I feared the past
Until I realized it could no longer hurt me…
I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight…
I feared the light
Until I learned that the truth would give me so much strength…
I feared change
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly…
