Avahra Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ten Rules for Being Humanby Cherie Carter-Scott 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period. 2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.” 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.” 4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. 5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned. 6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.” 7. Other people 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 within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust. 10. You will forget all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Kev Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 what happens if I just read half of #1 and then skip to the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eminutia Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 That part about people being mirrors, that's a very valuable lesson. If I reminded myself every time I saw a person I didn't like that it's just some fault of my own that lead me to that judgment, I would be a lot better off.

Skylark95 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Some of those really reinforce the fact that we all are equal and all make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
