What I Believe ...

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 you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for a lifetime.

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 true friendship continues to grow
even over the longest distance.
The same goes for true love.

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 it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe ...
That no matter how badly 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 way too soon.

I Believe ...
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything.
They just make the most of everything.
