10 Rules for Being Human

1.  You will receive a body.  You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for your entire life.  You can choose to change how it relates to the gravitational field or you can ignore its imbalances developed over time and feel miserable.

2.   You will learn lessons about your body, mind and behavior.  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.

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 experiment that ultimately "works".

4.  A lesson is repeated until it is 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 not any 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" which 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.  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.  But when you need a little intervention from others, don't forget to ask for help.

9.  Your answers lie inside you, in your body and in your mind.  The answers to life's questions lie inside you.  All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10.  You will remember all this and forget all this, and remember and forget...go back to rule # 1

 

If you don't like the way you look, the way your body feels, or you want to age more gracefully, call us.  We can help.  Lessons that last a lifetime.
