A Piece of Beauty

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born. A Death Certificate shows that we died.  Pictures show that we lived!  Have a seat, relax . . . and read this slowly. 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 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 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 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... That you should send this to  All of the people that you believe in, I just did. 'The happiest of people don't necessarily Have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything they have.
