The Rules of Life
.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You enrolled in a fulltime 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. The 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 onto the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part to life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. There are no better “here”. When your “there” has become “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here”.
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot hate or love 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. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need do is look, listen and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
