Ten Rules for Being Human
Inspired by: Cherie Carter-Scott
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”
Lessons are repeated until they are 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.
Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
“There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”
Other people 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.
Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
You will forget all this.

This was a great post to read on my birthday! Thank you!
Thank you Lisa and happy birthday!!
I like that, especially the “there” to “here”. Keeps a right perspective about NOW!
I loved this post, and I agree with all of them. merridm from twitter
I agree with all of them except the last. I wrote the others down and posted in my office to remind me of the excellent points you made. : )
Wonderful reminders I needed to see tonight. Thanks!
Wonderful blog. Great reminders to really live life. Have a great day!
well written – love it:)
Agreed! Thank you for sharing.
Great post, reminds me of a great quote “Only two things can change your life, either something new comes into your life or something new comes out of you.” -Brendon Burchard. Thanks for the great content keep it coming!
Great post! I really enjoy reading these types of posts. I’m gonna share this! Thanks for contacting me on twitter!
Great thoughts on life. I had to laugh at the last one: “You will forget all this” haha. And that’s why we learn over and over again! Thanks
I love this post, especially the last point. I’ve always thought that babies are born knowing the secrets of the Universe but they forget them as they grow up.
This is all about me me me me me. Sorry, that’s wrong. It’s all about God God God God.
Tony,
Maybe this “god” you speak of works through “me, me, me”
This post is great. Love the insight. Good work!
An excellent summary. So true. Life is about ongoing or continuous improvement. Now what Socrates had to say, makes more sense: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
Thank you for sharing this.
Very well written post! I love the ending! LOL!

Thanks for the great share about life.
This is one of my fav quote about life: Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important, in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not. – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Good line-up. Listen, learn, never stop, search for truth and I add, Let God lead.
Thanks!
Great site and I am coveting your bird friend! The only point that I have never agreed with is that we hate in others something we hate in ourselves. There are many character flaws that are not reflective of my flaws. For example: liars. While my sins are legion, lying is not one of them. Yet, liars infuriate me. I have admired many beautiful qualities in others that I do not possess, yet, I can still be glad they have them. Sheila
You mean to tell me you’ve never told a lie? Damn, you must be able to walk on water!!
There is one area of my life that I’m still trying to figure out what the lesson is. Regardless of how I respond or what I do in a particular situation it still ends unsuccessfully… in my opinion. It has been one of those things that I really wish someone else would solve or fix for me.
Cool post.
maybe that’s the way the lesson was supposed to turn out and it’s your perception that creates the “problem” (someone who is wiser than I (wouldn’t take much) told me, ‘It’s not a problem, it’s an opportunity”)
Great site! Love these thoughts….
