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 it is
learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you
have learned it. Then you can 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 again,
looks 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. The answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
