I believe that...
- a birth certificate shows that we were born, a death certificate shows that we died, but pictures show that we lived!
- 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.
- we don't have to change friends if we understand that 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 a lifetime.
- it can take a long time to become the person we want to be.
- you should always leave loved ones with loving words. You never know when 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.
- money is a lousy way of keeping score.
- sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
- when I'm angry I sometimes 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.
- 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 happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
- 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you'

Excellent reminders for me today. Thanks!
"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."
Thank you for this. There are too many people out there who are willing to abruptly cut off a friendship over a minor disagreement or even a perceived slight. We cannot expect perfection from our friendships. That's simply unreasonable.
Mark...I lov ethis. so profound and so true on so many levels. thanks!
XOXOXOX
A list to live by. I've seen variations of this often, but it never gets old, because the information is still true, no matter how often you see it.
I believe that this is one of the wisest things I've ever read. Thank you for sharing. Behr Hugs!!
GREAT list providing lots of food for thought!
