THE RULES OF BEING HUMAN
1. YOU WILL RECEIVE 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 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 IS NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSION.
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 LESSION 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 lesion.
5. LEARNING LESSION DOES NOT END.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lesions to be learned.
6. “THERE” IS NO BETTER THAN “HERE”.
When you “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 any other 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 LIES INSIDE YOU.
The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS.
