I ran across this when I was cleaning up some files on my computer this morning. It was given to me by a good friend I used to work with many years ago. sometimes when I'm feeling out of balance, I can read something on it that will help me feel a litlle more centered. I hope some of you enjoy it.

I Believe
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 awhile and you must forgive
them for that.I believe-
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
The same goes for true love.I believe-
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-
Either you control your attitude,
or it controls you.I believe-
Regardless of how hot and steamy
a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had
better be something else there
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 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 just because someone doesn’t love
you the way you want them to doesn’t
mean they don’t love you with all they have.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 you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret,
it could change your life forever.I believe-
That 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 far too soon.
