�����������������������������������������������������������������������������Ŀ � � � 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 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 experiment 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 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 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... � �������������������������������������������������������������������������������
