Stephanie’s Solace

*That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
*That no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once and a while and you must forgive them for that.
*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.
*That true friendship continues to grow, even over long distance. Same goes for true love.
*That it’s taken me a long time to become the person I have become and will take even longer to become the person God wants me to become.
*That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
*That I can keep going, long after I think I can’t.
*That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
*That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
*That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
*That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
*That sometimes when I am angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
*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.
*That it isn’t enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to forgive yourself.
*That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
*That just because two people argue and disagree, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
*That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
*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.
*That the people you care about most in life are taken from you much too soon.
*That life is more precious than money.

These list was sent to me through email and got me thinking that I need to start stating more of things that I believe. So I will be putting my own “I believe…” list throughout my posts.
