Title: I BELIEVE
Post by: Jo McDonald on July 23, 2008, 04:55:51 PM
   THIS IS A POWERFUL WRITING.
   Jo



A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we die
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 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.

I truly enjoyed this post...but, in my own irreligious fashion, I would state that....I believe in what the comic Ron White says...when life hands you lemons, make lemonade...and then find someone whose life has given them vodka and HAVE A PARTY!
