Lessons of Life


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 would 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 in lies. 

I feared life,
Until I experienced Its beauty. 

I feared death,
Until I realized that it's Not an end, but a beginning .

I feared my destiny, 
Until I realized that I had the power to change My life. 

I feared hate,
Until I saw that 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 growing 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 that 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 Strength.  

I feared change, 
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly .
