The Rules of Being Human

[Guest guest]

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will

be yours for the entire period.

 

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in an 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. 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 something you

either 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.
