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 its beauty.
I feared death, until I realized that it's not the 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.
