What Do I Believe?

I BELIEVE





Have a seat . . . relax . . . and read this slowly.
This sums it all up...

I believe ...
... that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,

it doesn't mean they do.

I believe ...
... that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.


I believe ...
... that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and
you must forgive them for that.

I believe ...
... that true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true Love.

I believe ...
... that you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.

I believe ...
... that it's taking me a long time to become
the person I want to be.

I believe -
. . . that you should always leave loved ones

with loving words.

It may be the last time you see them.

I believe ...
... that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe ...
... That we are responsible for what we do,

no matter how we feel.

I believe ...
... that either you control your attitude

or it controls you.

I believe ...
... that heroes are the people who

do what has to be done when it needs to be done,

regardless of the consequences.

I believe ...
... that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe ...
... that my best friend and I can do anything

or nothing

and have the best time.

I believe ...
... that sometimes the people

you expect to kick you when you're down,

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe ...
... that sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe ...
.... that maturity has more to do with what

types of experiences you've had

and

what you've learned from them

and

less to do with how many birthdays
you've celebrated.

I believe ...
... that it isn't always enough to be forgiven
by others.

Sometimes you have to learn to forgive
yourself.

I believe ...
... that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe ...
... that our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe ...
... that you shouldn't be so eager

to find out a secret.

It could change your life forever.

I believe ...
... two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I believe ...
... that your life can be changed

in a matter of hours by people

who don't even know you.

I believe ...
... that even when you think you have no more to give,

when a friend cries out to you ...

you will find the strength to help.

I believe ...
... that credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I believe ...
... that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
