Jimmy John's I Believe

I was eating lunch at Jimmy John's today (as I do most days) and sat next to their "I Believe" sign.  I've read this many times before, but it really rang true with me today. 

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 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. 

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 other. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. 

I Believe-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken that 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 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. 

I Believe-
that you shouldn’t be eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. 

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 well wishes. It may be the last time you see them. 

I Believe-
that you can keep going long after you can’t. 

I Believe-
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. 

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 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 either control your attitude or it controls you. 

I Believe-
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, that passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. 

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 money is a lousy way of keeping score. 

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 who help you get back up. 

I Believe-
that 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.
