| The Rules For Being Human When you were born, you didn't
      come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better.
                                  
           
            You will receive a body. 
              You may like it or hate it, but it's the
          only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
You will learn lessons. 
                You are enrolled in a full-time informal
          school called "Life on Planet Earth."  Every person or
          incident is the Universal Teacher.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. 
                  Growth is a process of
          experimentation.  "Failures" are as much a part of the
          process as "success."
A lesson is repeated until learned. 
                    It is presented to you in
          various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next
          lesson.
If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. 
                      External problems
          are a precise reflection of your internal state.  When you clear inner
          obstructions, your outside world changes.  Pain is how the universe
          gets your attention.
You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. 
                        Wisdom is practice.  A little of something is better than a lot of
          nothing.
"There" is no better than "here." 
                          When your
          "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain
          another "there" that again looks better than
          "here."
Others are only mirrors of you. 
                            You cannot love or hate something
          about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in
          yourself.
Your life is up to you. 
                              Life provides the canvas; you do the
          painting.  Take charge of your life --or someone else will.
You always get what you want. 
                                Your subconscious rightfully
          determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract --
          therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what
          you have.  There are no victims, only students.
There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. 
                                  Moralizing
          doesn't help.  Judgments only hold the patterns in place.  Just do your
          best.
Your answers lie inside you. 
                                    Children need guidance from others; as
          we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. 
                                    You know more than you have heard or read or been told. 
                                    All you need
          to do is to look, listen, and trust.
You will forget all this.
You can remember any time you wish.
