I BELIEVE

A birth certificate shows that we were born.
A death certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat. Relax, and read this slowly.


I BELIEVE

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 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 -
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.


I believe -
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in.
I just did. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.

Every action you take is a seed you sow, and every seed
You sow is a harvest you'll reap. AB
