I Believe

A friend sent this to me today (not sure who authored it), and I thought I'd pass it along. Although there may be room for debate on a couple of things, overall I think it's really inspiring....

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

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to really live what you believe this week!
