Rule
One - You will receive a body.
You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the
duration of your life on Earth.
Rule Two - You will be presented with 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 hate them, but you have designed
them as part of your curriculum.
Rule Three - There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials,
errors and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much as a part
of the process as the experiments that work.
Rule Four - The lesson is repeated until learned.
Lessons will be repeated to you in various forms until you have
learned them. When you have learned them, you can go on to the next lesson.
Rule Five - Learning does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you
are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
Rule Six - "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become "here" you will
simply obtain another "there" that will look better to you than your
present "here".
Rule Seven - Others are only mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it
reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
Rule Eight - 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.
Rule Nine - Your answers lie inside of you.
All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
Rule Ten - You will forget all this at birth.
You can remember it if you want by unraveling the double helix
of inner-knowing.
