Being Human

[Guest guest]

Dear Bro's and sister's

 

Rules for being human

1. Your 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 have the opportunity to learn lessons. You

may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and

stupid.

 

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a

process of trial and error and 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 go to

the next lesson. Periodically, the lesson will be re-

presented to see if you still remember it.

 

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 learnt. If no lessons

is being presented, it is likely that you are no

longer alive.

 

6. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there"

has become a "here", you will simply acquire another

"there". That will again look better than "here".

 

7. Others are simply 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. You have

all the tools and resources you need. What you make of

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 have to do is look,

listen and trust.

 

10. You will forget all this. That fact is itself a

lesson.

 

Yours
