the rules for 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
school called life. each day in this
school you will have an opportunity
to learn lessons. you may like them
or think them irrelevent and stupid

3. there are no mistakes, only lessons-
growth is a process of trial and
error; experimentation. the failed
experiments are as much apart of
the process as the one that
ultimately works

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 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
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. you will forget all this

11. you can remember it whenever
you want
