Reflection
   - Jenny Birkhofer

I don’t believe in miracles
I believe in coincidence and chance
I don’t believe in destiny
I believe in creating our own futures
I don’t believe in discrimination
I believe in equality
I don’t believe in merely existing
I believe in exceeding potential
I don’t believe in war
I believe in peace and compromise
I don’t believe in despair
I believe in hope
I don’t believe in smooth paths
I believe in pain and hardships
I don’t believe in ignorance
I believe in learning and growth
I don’t believe in being idle
I believe in change and improvement
I don’t believe in giving up
I believe in responsibility and devotion
I don’t believe in betrayal
I believe in commitment and loyalty
I don’t believe in closed minds
I believe in the possibilities
I don’t believe in animosity
I believe in love
I don’t believe in inhospitality
I believe in compassion and sympathy
I don’t believe in deception
I believe in truth and sincerity
I don’t believe in reputation
I believe in character
I don’t believe in corruption
I believe in morality
I don’t believe in conformity
I believe in diversity and individuality
I don’t believe in impossible
I believe in perseverance
I don’t believe in perfection
I believe in humanity
