Your Beliefs Can Shape Your Outlook

Dear Dr. LeCrone:

I recently receive the following testimony, which I think will help many other people as it has helped me. The author is unknown but obviously knows a lot about the psychology of daily living. Please pass this wisdom on to your readers.

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 may hurt you once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

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 money is a lousy way of keeping score.

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 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 you should send this to all of the people that you believe in.

Dear Reader:

Thanks for the wealth of good information and a script –which has traveled the world via the Internet – that should be passed on to as many readers as possible.
