The Rules of Being Human
* You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it but it will be yours for this time around.
* 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 or stupid.
* 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 experiment that lands up working.
* 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 then go on to the next lesson.
* Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
* "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" has become "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here.
* 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.
* What you make of 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.
* The answers lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
* You will forget all this! (I hope not!)
