I Believe

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 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 seconds

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...the happiest of people

Don't necessarily have the best of everything;

They just make the most of everything.
