The Proper Care & Feeding of You

Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it, you may hate it. It will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. Lessons will be presented. You will be enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may learn the lessons or not, or you may think them 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 and with more and more energy 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 not 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 about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools & resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. All the choices are yours.

9. Your answers lie inside of you. The answers to life's questions lie inside of you. All you need to do is look inside, listen, and trust.

10. You will "forget" all of this. .

11. You can "remember" this when you choose to do so.
