I believe...

Today I overheard a coworker in the midst of a conversation say, "I believe bad things happen to bad people." I liked that.

So I thank her, because she was the inspiration for this post. Like her, I also believe bad things happen to bad people, and I strongly believe good things happen to good people.

I believe in a lot of things, actually, such as:

• in kindness
• in making the most of everyday
• true friendships and relationships grow stronger in time
• something can be done in an instant that will give you heartache for a lifetime
• loved ones should always be left with with loving words for they may be the last
• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel
• control your attitude and anger, or else it'll control you
• you can do anything or nothing with best friends and still have the best time
• being angry is okay sometimes, but it doesn't give you the right to be cruel
• no matter how bad the 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
• it takes time becoming the person you are
• life can be changed in a matter of minutes
• it is better to be alone than in bad company
• we only get better with age
• never lower your standards for those that aren't willing to raise theirs
• many paths lead us to places we hadn't intended, but we end up in exactly where we need to be.
• time heals
• somethings are better left unsaid
• true love can see past the flaws and wrongs
• sometimes less is more
• money can't buy everything, including happiness
• there's power in positivity
• trust your gut instinct
• opinions of others don’t matter most of the time
• inner beauty is better than outer
• Life is unpredictable
