The Rules For Being Human
When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's
manual; these guidelines make life work better.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it,
but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the
rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a
full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth".
Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a
process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a
part of the process as "success."
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented
to you in various forms until you learn it: then you can
go on to the next lesson.
5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder.
External problems are a precise reflection of your
internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your
outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets
your attention.
6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your
actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of
something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there"
becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there"
that again looks better than "here."
8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or
hate something about another unless it reflects
something you love or hate in yourself.
9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you
do the painting. Take charge of your life, or someone
else will.
10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious
rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and
people you attract; therefore, the only foolproof way to
know what you want is to see what you have. There are no
victims, only students.
11. There is no right or wrong, but there are
consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only
hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance
from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where
the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you
have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is
to look, listen, and trust.
13. You will forget all this.
14. You can remember any time you wish.

The Story Of Life
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right
away that they were meant to be there, to serve some
sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you
figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be, your neighbor,
your coworker, a long lost friend, or a complete
stranger. When you lock eyes with them, you know at that
very moment they will affect your life in some profound
way.
Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible,
painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find
that without overcoming those obstacles you would have
never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or
heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by
chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,
and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your
soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be,
life would be like a smoothly paved,straight, flat road
to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull
and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the
success and downfalls you experience, help to create who
you are and who you become.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact,
they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust
and the importance of being cautious when you open your
heart. If someone loves you, love them back
unconditionally, not only because they love you, but
because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how
to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take
from those moments everything that you possibly can for
you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to
people that you have never talked to before, and
actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your
sights high. Hold your head up because you have every
right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and
believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in
yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your
own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no
regrets.
Most importantly if you Love someone tell him or her,
for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
Learn a lesson in life each day that you live. That's
the story of Life.
