Words to live by? I say yes!


I don't generally forward stuff I get through email, but I really liked this one and wanted to share it with as many people as possible. I figured this would be the best place to accomplish that. This came from my dear friend Rick in Seattle. Enjoy!

Have a seat. Relax. 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 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 to do
with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them

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...
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.


If you are strong and push through the pain and the fear, you often find that happiness is waiting for you on the other side.

Unfortunately......We only get 1 or 2 true friends in a lifetime.


rm_songbird5419 replies on 7/5/2008 6:02 pm:
I would say yes, but I believe that is a conservative number. Some are luckier than others and are privileged to have 3 or 4

rm_songbird5419 replies on 7/5/2008 6:04 pm:
I agree in principle, but I also believe some are privileged to have 3 or 4 whom they can call "friend." That is an honor not many receive!!
