Rules for Being Human

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 round.

2. You will have lessons to learn. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or you may think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth os a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the 'experiement' that actually '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, and when you have learned it you go onto the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end.

6. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes 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 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 and yours alone.

9. The answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need do is look, listen, trust.

10. You will forget all this
