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.
