Sunday Scribblings #143 - I believe...

When I saw this prompt I immediately thought of my sister-in-law who's one word motto is "Believe" and who's room is plastered with said motto AND I thought of the song Belief by Gavin DeGraw.

My sister-in-law believes, says what she believes, lives what she believes, and so much good comes into her life as a result.

"Belief makes things real, makes things feel, feel alright. Belief makes things true." - Gavin DeGraw

Stating your beliefs is brave. You make yourself vulnerable. People have died due to their beliefs or in the name of their beliefs.

Here goes my act of bravery for the day...

I believe...
love of all kinds matters most.

animals deserve respect, are not for eating, and should not be exploited for the entertainment of humans.

in holding hands, especially when your angry, because it reminds you of your bond.

little things and gestures go a long way.

formal education does not equal intelligence.

in dancing to your own drummer.

in following your own path even if it is a long and winding road.

change is the only constant so work on being flexible and adaptable.

in finding the magic in every day.

in finding the good in even the gravest situation.

when you get down to it, at our base, we are all the same.

you get the most by giving.

forgiving is good for the forgiven, but best for the forgiver.

we should listen more and talk less.

the child inside never leaves you no matter how much you may have neglected it.

in being spontaneous.

in always seeking balance.

tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it...yet. (Anne of Green Gables)

mistakes are a means of learning.

sometimes a good book and a cup of tea solve everything.

in giving people the benefit of the doubt.

in always being open to possibility.

in believing.
