I found this the other day and thought it was pretty interesting. I hope you all enjoy it too.

Rules For Being Human

You will receive one body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire time you're here.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn the lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, and experimentation. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately works.
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 then go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are 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".
Others are merely mirrors of you. You can not 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 inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

Well, I think it's great that you can find your ID every morning. ha ha! That would be a chore.

[ozzie]

Thank you for reading them Echoes. I appreciate the support.

[SeptemberMorn]

I keep my ID pinned to my shirt.

And I keep reading your post because I think it's new! teehee Just kidding! I think it's great!

[ozzie]

You have also posted a lot of really good stuff so I'm just following your lead.

I'd wash the ID pin. ha! Maybe I'd better write it on my hand in permanent ink.

[SeptemberMorn]

LOL Thank goodness the ID is waterproof or I wouldn't be able to read it!

I personally like these 2 rules for BEING HUMAN..... for:

I feel they go hand in hand with each other and always will - for when one does not / cannot see what it is that they HATE in another (hence, really their self) they will cont ' to receive the lesson over and over again (some times with the same person some times with others) until they can change what needs to changed in THEM, and not the other person.... keep in mind that the other persons soul is being used to help YOU dance the lesson that LIFE is trying TEACH.
