.this i believe.

So, I’ve been reading a book called This I Believe. It’s all about individual’s philosophies of life. Famous people…ordinary people…we’re all the same. We have things that drive us and things we believe in regardless of our walk of life. As I was reading, I became inspired to write my own. Throughout the week, I have been keeping track of the little things that play a major part of how I live my life. We all hold simple philosophies that shape our lives and how we live without even realizing it. Anyways, without further ado.

*Stream of Consciousness Has A Way of Making Sense*

I believe that love really can change the world. I believe that when I fall in love, I fall hard and I’m okay with that. I believe that we could get a lot more accomplished in this world if people were more understanding and compassionate. I believe that there are things in life that we are never going to understand. I think that sometimes we have to take a step back before things begin to make sense. I believe that everyone I meet has some effect on my life, whether good or bad. I believe that we have to get over ourselves to make room for bigger things to happen. I believe in integrity and respect. Common sense isn’t as common as it should be. I believe that everyone has at least one thing they’re good at. I believe that sirens are reminders that life is shorter than we can even begin to realize. I believe in telling people how you feel regardless of how hard it may be. I believe that one person can change the world. I believe that by being a teacher, I can make a difference. I believe that sometimes there isn’t a “right” choice. I believe that you can find beauty in everything. I believe that you should always stand up for what you believe – even if that means you are standing alone. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in first impressions and second chances. I believe in life- what it does to you, and what you do back. I believe that the battle between your head and heart isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I believe that sometimes you just have stop worrying and say, “whatever happens, happens.” I believe that there is always a plan regardless of how chaotic and messy things appears.
