The Rules For Being Human

1. You will recieve a body

     You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of this time around

2. You will learn lessons.

      You are enrolled in 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 irrevelant 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 it's lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better that "here".

      When your "there" has become a "here",  you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better that "here".

7. Others are merely mirrors of yourself.

    You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects 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 of you. All you need is to look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.
