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.

I Believe...
That you should send this to
All of the people that you believe in. 
I just did.

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

I Believe ...
That with a little Patience, Persistence, 
Faith, Hope
 And a lot of Determination ~ 
ANYTHING is possible

The magic words for a great relationship are, "I love you just the way you are."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You know you love someone when you know you want them to be happy,
even if their happiness means that you are not a part of it.
