Lessons on Being Human
- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it but it is yours for the entire period this time around.
- 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.
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the ones that work.
- A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it When you have learnt it you can go on to the next lessons.
- 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 learnt.
- There is no better than "here". When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".
- Others are simply mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- 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.
- The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
- You will forget all this. Try to re-read this on a regular basis.
