WHAT I BELIEVE…

By Brother Bear Vinson

I Believe... A Birth Certificate shows that we were born; A Death Certificate shows that we died and pictures showed that we lived!

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... 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... True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
 
I Believe... You can do something in an instant that will give you heartaches for life.
 
I Believe... That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
 
I Believe... You should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
 
I Believe… You can keep going long after you think you can't.
 
I Believe... 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... 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... My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
 
I Believe... Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up!
 
I Believe... 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... 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... No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
 
I Believe... Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are. But, we are responsible for the person to whom we’ve become.
 
I Believe... 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… Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
 
I Believe... At the point you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out for your help – you will find the strength to help.
 
I Believe... Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
 
I Believe… The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
 
I Believe… The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything.

I Believe… Life is not about how many precious moments you have; But, rather the precious moments you make within someone else’s life.

I Believe… A dinner for two will accomplish more than a setting of one.

I Believe… Loneliness is over rated, EVERYONE needs a break every once in a while to clean your head, hands, heart and health!

I Believe… People who help us navigate life’s journey are ‘Angels’ amongst us.

I Believe… Angels guide and guard us; the man who pulls a baby from inside a burning vehicle, or the lady who guided us in the right direction keeping us away from harm.

I Believe… There is a special garden in heaven for sick and neglected children to play.

I Believe… Earth’s greatest untapped treasure lies in human personalities!

 

I Believe... Stupidity is a choice; because we have freedom of choice and elect not to increase our knowledge... That's foolishness by default!
