Rules For Being Human
1) You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire
period this time around.
2) You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life.
Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn
lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant
and stupid.
3) There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The
"failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the
experiment that ultimately "works".
4) A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you
have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go
on to the next lesson.
5) Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.
If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6) "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain
another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."
7) Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person
unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about
yourself.
8) What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do
with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9) Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need
to do is look, listen, and trust.
10) You will forget all this.
