Ten Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours
to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal
school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial,
error,and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as
much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately
"work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are 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's no part of life that doesn't
contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still
lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has
become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will
again look better than "here".
7. Other people 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 within you. The answers to life's questions lie
within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
