11 RULES FOR BEING A HUMAN BEING

Rule 1: You will receive a body:

You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period


Rule 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 or stupid.


Rule 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”.


Rule 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.


Rule 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.


Rule 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”.


Rule 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.


Rule 8: What you make of your life is up to you:

You have the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours - no one elses.


Rule 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.


Rule 10: You will forget all this:


Rule 11: You can remember whenever you want.
