LESSONS OF LIFE...

I feared being alone
Until I learned to likeMyself.


I feared failure
Until I realized that
I only Fail when I don't try.


I feared success

Until I realizedThat
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 theUgliness in lies.


I feared life
Until I experiencedIts 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 changeMy life.


I feared hate

Until I saw that it
Was nothing more thanIgnorance.


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 gettingBetter.


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 meStrength.


I feared change,
Until I saw that
Even the most beautiful butterfly
Had to undergo a metamorphosis
Before it could fly.


ND I GOT MY LESSONS....
