Reg Gupton's 9 Rules for being human

Hi there,

Reg Gupton here again with another Top 10 list.

An old friend sent these to me recently. I, like you, have seen these before. See number 9.

The Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body
You may like it or hate it, the choice is yours, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

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 hence choose to ignore them. No matter; keep reading.

3. 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 go to the next lesson.

4. There are no sins, only mistakes calling for corrections
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiment is as much a part of the process as the experiment that actually "works."

5. 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 learned.

6. There is not better than here
When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "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. Your answers only lie inside of you
The answers to life's questions lie only inside of you. All you need do is look, listen, and trust.

9. You will forget all this
