Rules for Being Human

1.  You will receive a body.  You may like it or you may 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 information
school called life.  Each day in this school you will have the Opportunity
to learn lessons.  You may like the lessons, or you may think they are
irrelevant or stupid.

3.  There are no mistakes, only lessons.  Growth is a process of trial and
error, of experimentation.  The "failed" experiments are as much a part of
the process as the experiments that ultimately work.

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 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 not better than *here*.  When your there has become a here,
you simply will obtain another there that will again look better than here.

7.  Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something
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 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 you.  All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10.  You will forget all this.
