This is not really a rhetorical question. You know the song Affirmation by Savage Garden? My screen saver is made up of the lyrics to that song.

This has been sized down from the size I actually use of course.

When people are at my desk it often starts a conversation or invites a comment about a particular slide. So if I were to add a slide to it with something you believe in, what would it say? Come on people, there are almost 500 of you so tell me what you believe in.

I believe in the golden rule - treat others as you would want them to treat you.

I believe in always striving to better yourself - to learn, to develop, to advance.

I have more, but I'm late for work... (I also believe in not being late. At all. That's a tough one)

Not being late is a good one! "I believe that being late is discourteous"

I believe that mistakes are opportunities to learn, not something to regret.

I believe that most people really are good.

I believe that family is the most important gift we are given, so we shouldn't take them for granted.

I also believe that a glass of wine with a good friend can help in most any situation. ;-)

Oh these are good!

I believe that happiness is the most important thing of all.

That one does seem to lead to most others.

Good question. :o)

I believe, that how you behave and treat other will eventually come back to you. Not times three, like is sometimes said about black magic, but a person who does a lot of good stuff, will experience pleasant things as well.

I believe, that a general sense of respect for other beings is more important, than any specific set of rules our society or religion demands from us.

I believe, that a family of friends can be stronger and more supportive than bloodrelation, but we should never forget, were we come from either.

I believe, that love is love, as long as the involved parties are sane and old enough to decide, society and government have no say in it.

I believe that there is no such thing as "normal", people who are so scared of being different, they have to reassure themselves, that they are still in the majority.

Shahar

These are all good!

I believe in the power of love.

I believe that laughter is the best medicine.

I believe that one true friend is worth their weight in gold.

I believe a smile from a stranger can change your mood.

I believe it's better to be kind.

Oh man, these are all outstanding! *hugs*

[link] [parent] [reply]

hugs, back.

Oh, and I believe a simple hug can make your day.

Silly, but true:

I believe that what's better than one hot guy? Two. And what's better than that? Three. Any more and it just gets weird.

Also:

"If you believe in something strongly enough, you're willing to sacrifice everything for it." (Thank you Brian and Justin)

I believe that we do everything for a reason and with intention, whether than reason or intention is right or wrong.

I believe that hope is the quintessential human feeling.
I believe we can change the world, we can make it better.
I believe we must look life in the face, and live it.
I believe there's never a bad time to eat chocolate. or drink coffee. (hee hee, sorry about that, but i'm an addict)

Great! And nothing to be sorry about, it's true :-)

I believe that you can't expect things of others if you can't expect them of yourself.

I believe that cats are the true rulers of the world. Most people just don't know it.

I believe that there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure.

I love these and I have no doubt Dandy would agree with the second one :-)

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

I believe that you must believe in yourself.

I believe that the love you take is equal to the love you make. (Thanks to the Beatles)

I believe that you must believe in yourself.

This one is especially good.

I believe:

The only person I can change is myself.

I can't always control what happens, but I can always control my reaction to it.

I am responsible for my own happiness.

I believe a successful relationship has each person being 100% responsible for the relationship.

I believe if I change my thoughts, I can change my life.

I believe there is a useful message or lesson in everything that happens to me.

I believe in an attitude of gratitude.

I believe in counting my blessings.

I believe if I change my thoughts, I can change my life.

I've actually done that. Long story but it does work.

I believe that my God does not require me to fill a church's coffers, but instead would be happier if I used my time and resources helping others directly.

Amen to that.

From something I wrote that's been previously posted on my LJ. It was a series of beliefs/wants for my life...

I believe it's okay to be single, I'd rather love inwardly than resent the one I'm with. Or be with someone else who is only marginally into me.

I believe we have many soulmates, it's just a matter of finding one at the right moment in time for both of us. The first one wins my heart completely.

I believe in marriage, not divorce. I'd rather fight and push and yearn and come together. Cherishing the good when everything seems so bad.

I believe I will grow old with this smile still on my face. Content with all I have lived and loved. My life. Complete.

I have a friend who so needs to learn this lesson.

I believe in risk taking.
I believe in turning bad situations into good ones.
I believe that one should not surround themselves with negativitiy.
I believe that I can always learn to be a better person.

On another note - I used to be a massive fan of Savage Garden. I have met the lead singer on several occassions and he's an absolute sweetheart. He would love that his lyrics are inspiring conversation.

That's nice to think about.

I believe we can't blame our parents for our mistakes.

I believe accept the consequences makes you think before acting.

It's a brazilian saying that everything that is good, is immoral, illegal or fattening. ;) I believe that!!

Something far too few people do I'm afraid.
