    RULES for BEING HUMAN


   1. You will receive a body.  You may like it or hate it, but it will be your for the

        entire time you’re here.


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

       life.  Each day you’ll have the opportunity to learn something.  You may like

       the lessons, or think them painful, stupid or irrelevant.


   3. There are no mistake, only lessons.  Growth is a process of trial & error, by

       experimentation.  The ‘failed’ experiments are as much a part of the process

       as the ones that ultimately ‘work’.

 

   4. A lesson is repeated until it’s learned.  It’ll be presented in various forms  

       until then.  When you’ve learned it, you can move on to the next one.

  

   5. Learning lessons doesn’t end.  All parts of life contain lessons.  As long

       as you’re alive, there’ll always be something you’re required to learn.


   6. There’s no better place than ‘here, now’.  When your ‘there‘ has

       become ‘here’, you’ll simply be given another ‘there‘ that again looks

       better than where you’re at now.  


   7. Others are merely mirrors for you.  You can’t love or hate something about

       another person unless it reflects back 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 & resources

       you need.  What you do with them is up to you.  The choice is yours.


   9. Your answers are inside of you.  The answers to life’s questions are in  each of

       us.  All you need to do is look, listen & trust.


  10. You will forget all of this when you arrive.
