Belief

This is not original.  This was sent to me by a friend.
I want to write something similiar, but I supposed the version here (writer unknown) captures the essence of what I feel too. I have added a few lines of my own here and there.

I Believe (Anonymous)


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.
Or that...perhaps, we are the ones who need to 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.
And I as a friend, must be true to them.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
It is not how much you love, but how you love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.
A moment of impulse should not lead to a lifetime of regrets.

I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.
But if I am patient and peservering
I will be who I truly am and do great things.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
Never end the day angry or upset with those who mean much to you.

I Believe....
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
Never say die...and keep pushing yourself.

I Believe....
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.
We have the freedom to choose...the best of what life can offer.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
And that attitude in the long run, outperforms your aptitude.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs
to be done, regardless of the consequences.
And there is a hero in each of us.

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.
And not to be misled that those whom you think will rally around you
are the ones who will always be there.

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,
Nor the right to indulgence in vengence.

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.
That if you learn from the lessons of life, you are a much better person.

I Believe....
That it isn't always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself..
by simply being your own best friend.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
Learn to bounce back...
Move on...move on.

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.
Embrace diversity and accept differences.

I Believe....
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.
So never make judgements until you know others well.

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.
And if you reach up for God too,
He will be your guide.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
That money cannot buy decency and good manners
or imbibe integrity in a person.

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

 I just need ....to believe.
