This is a sign at Jimmy John's that I finally got close enough to to read and it really made me think. I just wish my crazy head could really adhere to all these beliefs.

"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 can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

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 words. 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 either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and and there had better be something else to keep it going.

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 together and have the best time.

I Believe...that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

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 others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...that no matter how bad your heart is broken, 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 doesn't mean they do.

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

I Believe...that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something completely different.

I Believe...that your life can change 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 a wall do not make you a decent human being."
