I believe in the power of a name. People like being called by name, even by people they've just met.
I believe in prayer, and a God who hears and answers.
I believe we get the families we do for a reason (and I'm sure glad I got mine!)
I believe that mountains and oceans are the best medicine.
I believe that being true to yourself is essential to being truly happy.
I believe that people & relationships matter more than tasks, goals, money, or time.
I believe that good music is powerful.
I believe that most people are basically good and do the best they know how.
I believe in holding myself to high ideals, but also cutting myself some slack when I fall short.
I believe that the more you know someone, the more you can like them.
I believe that the average, relatively-healthy human body is capable of amazing things.
In fact, I believe we are generally capable of doing things that are harder than we think we can.
I believe that I can change.
I believe that we should dream big, and I believe in setting goals and making plans.
(although, I believe spontaneity and fun are really, really important, too.)
What do you believe?
These are all really true.
ReplyDeleteI am an especially strong believer of number one. Names are so important. I make a great effort to know all my students' names right away. I think it's a big respect thing.
Thanks for linking up today :) I loved reading your list and learning a little more about you!
ReplyDeleteI believe that with age comes wisdom through experience .
ReplyDeleteI believe our wonderful young people give us perhaps most valuable lessons in sharing with us their refreshing thoughts and knowledge.
so, i meant to tell you when i read this that i LOVE it. then i was thinking about it again and i think i will just print it out and tape it in my journal. you are so good at putting your feelings into words. i have a hard time with that so it was nice to read so many things that i find true right here!
