This has been circulated on the web a few times. I think this is the 3rd time I've read it. I think it's simple wisdom that bears repeating and is worth sharing, so I'm sharing it with you.

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.


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 money is a lousy way of keeping score.


I Believe....

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 Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in, I just did.
