The Rules For Being Human:

The Rules For 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 are enrolled in a full-time informational 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 experiments that ultimately "work."

  2. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
  3. There is no better place than here. When your there has become a here, you simply will contain another there that will again look better than here.

  2. 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.
  3. The answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

You will forget this.
