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 this time around.

 2. You will learn lessons.
    you are enrolled in 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 about them as irrelevant 
    and stupid.

 3. They are repeated until they are learned.
    Growth is a process of trials and errors, experimentation. 
    The "failed" experiments are as much part of the process as the 
    experiments that ultimately "works."

 4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.
    A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have
    learned it. Then you can go on to the next lesson.
 
 5. Learning lessons never have ending.
    There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If 
    you are a live, there are lessons to be learned.

 6. "There" is no better then "here."
    When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain
    another "there" that again, looks 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 the resources you need; what you do with 
    them is up to you. The choice is yours.
  
 9. The answers lies inside you.
    The answer to your life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do
    is look, listen, and trust yourself.
  
 10. God is myth.
