I feared being alone...until I learned to like 

myself. 

I feared people's opinions...until I learned 

that people would have opinions about me anyway. 

I feared failure.....until I realized that 

they are only the stepping stones to success.

to have faith in myself. 

I feared pain...until I learned 

that it is necessary for growth. 

I feared the truth....until I saw the ugliness 

in lies. 

I feared life...until I experienced 

that it depends solely on my attitude. 

I feared death....until I realized 

that it is only a beginning. 

I feared hate...until I saw 

that it was nothing more than ignorance. 

I feared love....until I realized that 

I do need the other person to love me back 

I feared ridicule....until I learned 

how to laugh at myself. 

I feared success ... until I learned 

that it is okay to be the best I can. 

I feared growing old....until I realized 

that I gained the beauty of wisdom every day. 

I feared the dark...until I saw 

the beauty of the stars and moonlight. 

I feared the past....until I realized 

that it can only hurt me if I allow it to do so. 

I feared the future....until I realized 

that it is only this moment that matters.

could fly.
