Being Human

My cousin, who may I add is one of the nicest people I know sent me this over the weekend and I thought I would share it with the world. Some very true stuff!

Being Human

• You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
  
• You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day you will have the opportunity to earn 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, experimentation. “Failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.
  
• A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Then you can go on to the next lesson.
  
• 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.
  
• “There” is no better than “here”. When your “there” has become “here” you will simply obtain another “there” that again, looks better than “here”.
  
• 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.
  
• 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 lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
  
• You will forget all this.
