The Rules on 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 round.
  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 then 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 you’re “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 something you love or hate about yourself.
  8. What you make of your life is up to you. There isn’t a single right way to live. There are many right ways to live. The choice is always yours and there are always choices.
  9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to Life’s questions lie inside you. All you have to do is look, listen and trust.
  10. You will forget all this.
  11. You can remember whenever you want.
