In the past, my fears were the ones that torment every person: fear of life and death, fear of failure, fear of someone else’s negative opinion of me, fear of losing a loved one.

I am no longer afraid of the general things I mentioned above because along the way I gained faith in the process of life and confidence in my power.

Accept yourself and focus on that balance.
