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.
