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.
So beautiful !
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 loveUntil 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
The piano and bench are both cakes...yes CAKES!
Sheila (pictured here with me) surprised me with these phenomenal creations for my birthday.
I always wanted a Baby Grand!
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."
My bestie sent me that poem years ago (don't know who actually wrote it) and I've always loved it.
Hope it speaks to your heart as it did mine.
Luv,
Mandy
