The Rules of Being Human

You might have heard rules before, but you have never heard rules like these.

The ten rules for being human
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or not, 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. Failed experiments are just as important as the experiments that succeed.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It will be repeated in various forms until you have learned the lesson. Then you may move on to other lessons.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is not part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to learn.
6. “There” is no better there than “here”. When your “there” has become “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 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 you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. Whether you think you can or can’t, in either case you’ll be right.
