Nothing to fear

Nothing to fear
Author unknown

There's nothing to fear -

you're as good as the best,
As strong as the mightiest, too.

You can win in every battle or test;
For there's no one just like you.

There's only one you in the world today;
So nobody else, you see,

Can do your work in as fine a way:
You're the only you there'll be!

So face the world, and all life is yours
To conquer and love and live:

And you'll find the happiness that endures
In just the measure you give;

There's nothing too good for you to possess,
Nor heights where you cannot go:

Your power is more than belief or guess -
It is something you have to know.

There is nothing to fear -

you can and you will.

For you are the invincible you.

Set your foot on the highest hill -
There's nothing you cannot do

A Zen story

Destiny During a momentous battle, a Japanese general decided to attack even though his army was greatly outnumbered. He was confident they would win, but his men were filled with doubt. On the way to the battle, they stopped at a religious shrine. After praying with the men, the general took out a coin and said, "I shall now toss this coin. If it is heads, we shall win. If tails, we shall lose. Destiny will now reveal itself."He threw the coin into the air and all watched intently as it landed. It was heads. The soldiers were so overjoyed and filled with confidence that they vigorously attacked the enemy and were victorious. After the battle, a lieutenant remarked to the general, "No one can change destiny.""Quite right," the general replied as he showed the lieutenant the coin, which had heads on both sides.
