Fear - & What of it.

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.
