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 the opportunity
to learn lessons.
You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and
stupid.
3) There are no mistakes,
only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error,
experimentation.
The "failed" experiments are as much a part
of the process as the experiment that ultimately
"works".
4) 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.
5) 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.
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 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 lie inside
you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10) You will forget all
this.
