MY FEARS

MY FEARS

 

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 realised that they are only the stepping

stones to success.

I feared rejection, until I learned 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 realised that it is only a beginning.

I feared hate, until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.

I feared love, until I realised that I do not 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 realised 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 realised that it can only hurt me if I

allow it to do so.

I feared the future, until I realised that it is only this moment

that matters.

I feared change, until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly

had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly.

I feared my destiny, until I realised that my beloved Baba (or God

or Goddess) is holding my hand and

leading me to the promised Land!

 

Remain Blessed!

 

Duty is God, Work is Worship
