The Rules for being human

[Guest guest]

Found this on the web and made for interesting reading. My thanks to

the unknown author.

 

I particularly like

 

13. You will forget all this.

 

14. You can remember any time you wish.

 

 

 

When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's manual; these

guidelines make life work better.

 

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

only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.

 

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal

school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the

Universal Teacher.

 

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of

experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process

as "success."

 

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in

various forms until you learn it: then you can go on to the next

lesson.

 

5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External

problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you

clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the

universe gets your attention.

 

6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change.

Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of

nothing.

 

7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes

a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks

better than "here."

 

8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something

about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in

yourself.

 

9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the

painting. Take charge of your life, or someone else will.

 

10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully

determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract;

therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see

what you have. There are no victims, only students.

 

11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences.

Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place.

Just do your best.

 

12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others;

as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are

written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All

you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.

 

13. You will forget all this.

 

14. You can remember any time you wish.
