I Believe

[atma]

Got this on e-mail.

 

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 regardless of how hot and

steamy a relationship is at first,

the passion fades and there had

better be something else to take

its place.

 

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 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 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 two people can look at the exact same

thing and see something totally different.

 

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 for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows

I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way

I believe, I believe

 

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard

I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why I believe

 

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why I believe (why I believe)
