Being Human

“Rules for being human.

From ancient Sanskrit scriptures.

  1. You are given a body, whether you like it or not, but it is yours for the entire duration.
  2. You will learn lessons, You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called ‘life’ Every day at this school you are given the opportunity to learn lessons. You can like the lessons or think they are unnecessary and stupid.
  3. There are no mistakes, only lessons, Growth is a process of falling, getting up, and experimenting. The failed experiment is just as much a part of the process as the experiment that does work.
  4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned, A lesson is presented to you in various forms, until you have learned it; only then can you start the next lesson.
  5. Learning lessons has no end, there is no part of life that has no lessons; if you live, there are lessons to learn.
  6. ‘There’ is not better than ‘here’, If your ‘there’ has become a ‘here’, a new ‘there’ appears that seems better than here.
  7. Others are mirrors of you, You cannot love or hate something in another, unless it reflects something of yourself that you hate or love.
  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.
  9. The answers are within you, The answers to life’s questions are within you; all you have to do is look, listen, and trust
