9 Rules to life

01. You will receive one body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around. Treat it well.

02. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life". Each day you will have opportunities to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant or stupid, that's OK. Learn something from each one.

03. 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 "somehow" work.

04. 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 on to the next lesson.

05. Learning lessons never ends. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

06. "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". Never forget, the grass is not greener on the other side.

07. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

08. 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.

09. The answers are inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
