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 and stupid.

3.There are no mistakes, only lessons.

Growth is a process of trial and error, experi-

mentation. 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 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. Your answers lie inside you.

The answers to life’s questions lie inside you.

All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.
