What Do You Believe?

A good buddy of mine passed along a statement of belief that I really liked. I’ve added a few of my own to his list and thought it might spur on a few thoughts. So…What do you believe?

·      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 - same goes for 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 and friends with loving 
words because you may never see them again.

·      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 have a great time together doing anything or doing nothing at all.

·      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 again. 

·      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 than 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 whom we become. 



·      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 seconds 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 for help, you will find that you have more.

·      I believe... That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

·      I believe… That we waste far too much time and effort trying to acquire things we don't need with money we don't have, so that we can impress people we don't know. 



·      I believe… That the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

·      I believe… That no matter what our circumstances or situation may be, if Christ is our Savior, we have a destiny above and beyond our current condition.

·      I believe… That regardless of how tough things may seem to be in life, God is at work behind the scenes and He can produce something good for your life out of the worst scenario.

·      I believe… That no matter what you’ve done, where you’ve been or what you may ever do, God loves you. He always has loved you and there is nothing you can do to change that.

·      I believe… That God’s dreams for your life are far greater than yours. And His confidence in your abilities far exceeds your critics’ lack of belief in you.

·      I believe… That "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

So… are you dancing yet?
