~~I BELIEVE~~

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we live!

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 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.
