Life lessons again

 I was afraid of being rejected

Until I learned to never reject myself

I was afraid of being abandoned

Until I learned to never abandon myself

I was afraid of the opinions of others

Until I learned that they held no more weight than my own mindset 

I was afraid of painful endings

Until I realised that there is no end

I was afraid of appearing weak

Until I realised my own strength 

I was afraid of being seen as small and unimportant

Until I discovered my true power and potential

I was afraid of being perceived as ugly

Until I learned to fully appreciate my own beauty

I was afraid of failure

Until I learned that it was an illusion

I was afraid of feeling low

Until I learned that it was the birthplace of brilliance and place where my greatest transformation occurred

I was afraid of change

Until I realised it was an inevitable part of life

I was afraid of being alone

Until I learned to fully embrace  my own company

I was afraid of my uniqueness

Until I learned that it was where my greatness lay

I was afraid of the darkness

Until I remembered that I was the light.

I was afraid of falling in love

Until I realised I am love. 

I was afraid of running late

Until I realised time does not matter

What matters is how important I am to myself?
