I BELIEVE
REV. RUDY POHL
I BELIEVE > > I believe - that our background and circumstances may have influenced who > we are, but we are responsible for who we become. > > 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 just because someone doesn't love you the way you want > them to > doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. > > I believe - that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest > distance. Same goes for true love. > > 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 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. > 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 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 you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could > change your life forever. > > I believe - that 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.
