    life's lessons

    because this is what this is all about.....

    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 round.

    2. You will learn lessons.
    You are enrolled in a full-time informal 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 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 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 no better than "here".
    When your "there" becomes a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better that "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 and resources you need. What you do with 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 need to do is look, listen and trust.

    10. You will forget all this.

            This is from one of my favorite books called, If Life is a Game, These are the Rules. It is a great read. Thanks for posting.

                I've never agreed with #7. And #10 happens to me a lot. I sure hope LuCKy and I don't have to get into an argument over that! :PPPPPPP :h

                    I hate to agree with No......L (just kidding!:P) but I have never agreed with #7, and to prove it, I am not at all like George Bush!!

                              Thanks Heavenly.
                              Gee, looks like it's all gonna kick off again. I was just trying to put the emphasis back on why we are here, and take the focus off... "individual attention". I have reminded myself of those AA words... "take what you want, and leave the rest behind" good advice, (albeit a little hard to follow sometimes). We are only human.
