The Rules For Being Human

THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN HANDED DOWN FROM ANCIENT SANSKRIT

1. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY

You may like it or not, but it will be yours for the entire period 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 IT IS LEARNED

A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it, then you can go on 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 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 love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you 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. THE ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU

The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
