I Feared UNTIL……!!!

I feared being alone
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.

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 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.

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.

I feared the past
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.

  3. I guess , but again..I know it and not apply..one loves the self, one one works like a Karmayogi..so much so the actions remain and not the person..
    Like as they "let my work speak for myself".

  4. jai gurdev bhawana i think realization of goal happened with two wings this is i m quoting form yoga vashishtha first page where it says you need two wings to fly and right knowledge as well as right action is important to make things work :) like this i heard from bawa and its cool one knowledge of share market doesnt make u rich and without knowledge also just keep playing in share market doesnt make u rich, right knowledg and then applying that knowledge can definitely make u rich :) so when u do ur meditation its a realization that u r nobody then who will say to who that i m karmayogi or else :) i hope it make sense please do reply jai gurudev
