I Believe ²

by Wendy • The Corners of my Life

Forwarding some thoughts for a new year.

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, he/she
is going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive him/her 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. You have to forgive yourself, too.

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- The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything:
they just make the best of everything they have.
