Words for the Week to ponder. I don’t know the original author(s).

I Believe …

… 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.

… we don’t have to change friends if we understand friends change.

… 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.

… true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

… you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

… it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

… you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

… you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

… we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

… either you control your attitude or it controls you.

… heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

… my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

… sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up .

… sometimes when I’m angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

… 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.

… it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

… no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

… our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

… you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

… two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

… your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.

… even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you — you will find the strength to help.

… credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

… the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

… the happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
