What 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....
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 love each other.


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.





'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything.'



So much going on during this season that all too often we forget some very key aspects of life. I don't know who wrote the above piece, but I believe it is a beautiful reminder of our responsibility to those around us and are mission to Love all no matter what (at least that is what it reminded me of).
