Twelve Rules for Being Human

in #life5 years ago

by Dr Chérie Carter-Scott and Dan Millman

1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your time on Earth.

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, but they are specific to you.

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 experiments that ultimately “work.”

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” 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 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. Life is exactly what you think it is.
You create a life that matches your beliefs and expectations.

10. Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

11. You will forget all of this.

12. You can remember it whenever you want.

I'll forget about this! Why is it that anything valuable that comes in front of me eyes catches great attention only to be left behind after some minutes?

It is the first time I read that such fragility of my mind is quite common.

Does anyone has a good enough technique to assimilate learnings?
