Thought for the day

[Guest guest]

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.
