I believe - in a lot of what is written below - and in a lot more !!

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.

I Believe.....
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

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 heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done,

Regardless of the consequences.

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 Believe...
That you should send this to

All of the people that you love and believe in,

I just did.

'The happiest of people don't necessarily

Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.

Thank you God for all the wonderful people who have helped

Me throughout my journey of life..
