Some meditative thoughts I received today from an Indian friend:
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.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.
