Rules for Being Human

RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

1. You will learn lessons: You are enrolled in a full-time school called "Life on the Planet Earth."

 Every person or incident is your teacher.

2. There are no mistakes -- only lessons: "Failures" are stepping-stones to success.

3. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented in various forms until learned. If you are here, there are still lessons to be learned.

4. If you don't learn the easy lessons they get harder.  Pain is one way the universe gets your attention.

5. You'll know when you've learned a lesson when your actions change.  Only action can change knowledge to wisdom

6. There is no right or wrong  -- only consequences.  The universe never judges us: it only gives us opportunities to balance and learn.

7. "There" is no better than "here."  When "there" becomes a "here", you'll notice another "there" that again looks better than "here".

8. Your life is up to you.  Life provides the canvas; you do the painting.

9. Your answers lie inside you.  All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You'll tend to forget all this.
