I believe........

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 no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves,

get farther in life.

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 it's a process,

not an event,

for me to become the person

I want to be

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 cannot make someone love you;

all you can do is be someone

who can be loved.

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 we must forgive them for that.

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 sometimes the people you think

might kick you when you're down,
will be the very ones to help you get back up.

I BELIEVE
that it's not WHAT you have,

but WHO you have in your life

that counts the most..

I BELIEVE
that your life can be changed

in a matter of seconds

by people who you don't even know.

I BELIEVE
that two people can look at the same thing

and see something totally different.

I BELIEVE
that there are people who love you dearly,

but just don't know how to show it.

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 it isn't always enough to be

forgiven by others ...
sometimes you have to learn

to forgive yourself.
