WHAT IS IMPORTANT?



At the end of each year, it is worthwhile to take some time out and reflect on what is

important in our brief lives on this planet... Here are some of my beliefs that may help you

reflect on what you stand for:

  • 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 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 regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion

fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

  • 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 still 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 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 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 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.

May you know grace, peace and love each day.
