I Believe!


I BELIEVE 

A 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. (relatives too) 
 
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. (and that's the absolute truth.)  

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. (The most diffucult task you can do.) 

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

This amazing piece was send to me by a friend and I wanted to share it with you!

I am blessed to know that you have a friend that thinks that much about you to send you this very thought provoking message. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. True friends are very hard to come by but I am making new friends everyday as I get closer to the MFF family. I am happy to know you are one of these family members. Have a GREAT day!
