The Rules for Being Human (Author Unknown)

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 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 experiments that ultimately work.

4) A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL IT IS 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 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 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 YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU

You have all of the tools and resources you need: What you do with them

is up to you.  The choice is yours!

9) YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE OF YOU

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

10) YOU WILL FORGET ALL OF THIS

It's All Temporary
