I Believe

When there's nothing left to do but believe...

I believe that the world is a good place. I believe that people are inherently decent. I believe in the power of love over evil and I believe that justice eventually does prevail.

I believe everything takes time and patience. I believe that it takes an inordinate amount of courage to face our fears and risk everything for love of self. I believe that we all have the same core dreams of love, health & happiness.

I believe time heals all wounds, yet some scars run so deep that we must be extremely patient with ourselves. I believe some of us are inherent warriors, while others are designated side-liners; we all have our given purpose...accept yours and be free.

I believe that love conquers all: love of self, child, spouse, sister, friend. I believe that we all live in glass houses; to walk naked is much more enlightening than wasting time casting stones.

I believe that beauty surrounds us; it is in the laughter of our children and the smile of a stranger. I believe in the hope of today, the random acts of kindness and the magic that happens when humanity pulls together to overcome the insurmountable.

I believe it is never a question of asking to make life easier, but to make oneself stronger.

In the darkest moments, I believe there is always a flickering light: of faith that there is a reason we are exactly where we are meant to be.  

I believe.
