THE 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
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.
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 to the
next lesson.
5. LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END.
There is no part of life
that does not contain its lesson. If
you are alive, there are
lessons to be learned.
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."
7. OTHERS ARE MERELY MIRRORS OF YOU
You cannot love or hate
something about another person unless
it reflects to you something
you love or hate in 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 to
do is look, listen, and
trust.
HABITS WILL PUSH YOU TO SUCCESS
OR FAILURE.
First you make your habits,
and then your habits make you.
Break those habits that can
break you.
Adopt those practices that will
become the new habits
that will help you achieve the
success you desire.
Your habits are a form of exercise.
The harder you work at something,
the harder it is to quit.
The easier it is to do, the
harder it is to change.
Your habits are either the best
of servants or the worst of masters.
You are what you repeatedly
do.
