"People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within" ~Elizabeth Kubler- Ross~ I Believe... A Birth Certificate shows that we were born. A Death Certificate shows that we died. Pictures show that we lived! 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. 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 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. ~What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us ~Blessings to you ~
