10 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 school called life. Each day you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think of them as irrelevant. 3. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS: Growth is a process of trial arid error or 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: Lessons will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go to the next lesson. 5. LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END: There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there is learning. 6. "THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE": When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply find another "there" that will again look better than "here". 7. OTHERS ARE MERELY MIRRORS: You do not 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. 9. YOUR ANSWERS LIE WITHIN: The answers to life's questions lie inside you and you only need to look, listen and trust. 10. YOU WILL FORGET OR REMEMBER ALL OF THIS: The choice is yours. If you could really accept that you weren't okay - you could stop proving you were okay. If you could stop proving that you were okay - you could get that it was okay not to be okay. If you could get that It was okay not to be okay - you could get that you were okay the way you are. You're okay, got it? author unknown
