Spool of Wisdom Thread

Fear of the unknown 
shouldn't pinion your wings;
forge ahead!
Remember this incontrovertible truism:
you're always stronger 
than you give yourself credit for!
It never matters 
what people you don't know 
from a can of paint think of you;
what's infinitely more important
is what you think of yourself.
Believe what you believe...
There's nothing wrong with 
stubbornly sticking to your convictions.
You can summit 
all of life's mountains 
with steadfast self-belief.
Your doubtful mind is 
a noose hovering above your head.
It falls to your neck 
only if you allow it. 
Always entertain high hopes 
and possibilities. 
It's better to try -- despite risks involved --
than rot in regret's dungeon.
When licked by misfortune's tongue,
cling to your faith
like virgin leaves does to a tree.
It carries you through
every time.
