Older doesn't always mean wiser. There are always lessons to be learned in the game of life. Regardless of your age, success level, or station in life, you will never be exempt from the lessons you need to learn in order to continue growing as a human being. Your journey on Earth is constantly unfolding, and while your wisdom grows and your capacity to deal with challenges expands, new lessons will present themselves. Life is a year-round school from which you never actually graduate, so it is the learning process itself that brings true value to existence. From learning to accept the changes with your body, to truly understanding what it means to live in the present, let these 10 rules act as your road map as you travel on the path of spiritual growth.

If Life is a Game, These are the Rules:
The Ten Rules for Being Human

RULE #1:
YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY
You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on Earth.

RULE#2:
YOU WILL BE PRESENTED WITH LESSONS
You are enrolled in a full-time school called "life". Each day you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.

RULE #3:
THERE ARE NOT MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS
Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.

RULE #4:
LESSONS WILL BE REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED
Lessons will be repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned a particular lesson, you can then go on to the next one.

RULE #5:
LEARNING DOES NOT END
There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

RULE #6:
"THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE"
"there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will look better to you than your present "here".

RULE #7:
OTHERS ARE ONLY MIRRORS OF YOU
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

RULE #8:
WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU
You have all of the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.

RULE #9:
ALL YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE OF YOU
All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

RULE #10:
YOU WILL FORGET ALL OF THIS AT BIRTH
You can remember it if you want by unraveling the double helix of inner knowing.
