People fear being alone until they learn to like themselves

People fear failure until they realise that they only fail when they don’t try

People fear people’s opinions until they learn that people will have opinions about them anyway

People fear rejection until they learn to have faith in themselves

People fear pain until they learn that it’s necessary for growth

People fear the truth until they see the damage caused by lies

People fear their destiny until they realise that they have the power to change their life

People fear ridicule until they learn how to laugh at themselves

People fear growing old until they realise that they gain wisdom every day

People fear the past until they realise that it can no longer hurt them

People fear change until they recognise that even the most beautiful butterfly has to undergo a metamorphosis before it can  fly

And ….. AFTER A WHILE…..

People learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, they begin to accept their defeats with their head held high and eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, they learn to build their roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans

Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers; learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong and you have worth
