We're only human -
I was cleaning my office and came across this in one of my files, I do not know who the author is:
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have an opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid, but you will have them.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The failed experiments are as much as part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
4. Lessons are 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 then go to on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. As long as you are alive, there will be lessons to be learned.
6. "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".
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something that you love or hate about yourself.
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. Your answers are all inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
10. Unfortunately you will forget all this.

I agree with it all except for #10. I believe lessons learned are internalized by the soul and even though we don\'t consciously remember the details the essences of the condition and it\'s lesson is part of what we would call intuition and personality. Just my opinion. Thank you for sharing. Terry
Very interesting. Yes 10 does apply we forget how much we have learned and dont remember how to reach inside for the answere.
