I believe..came across this today

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 love and true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

 

I Believe...that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. 

 

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 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 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 BUT 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...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.
