When you were born, you didn't come with an owners manual; these guidelines will make life work better.
1. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life on Planet Earth. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. Growth is a process of experimentation. Failure is as much a part of the process as success.
4. A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it - then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. IF YOU DON'T LEARN EASY LESSONS, THEY GET HARDER. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
6. YOU WILL KNOW YOU'VE LEARNED A LESSON WHEN YOUR ACTIONS CHANGE. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. "THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE". When your "there" becomes a "here, you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here.
8. OTHERS ARE ONLY MIRRORS OF YOU. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
9. YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life--or someone else will.
10. YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU NEED. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract. Therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you need is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
