'The 10 Rules For Being Human'

From The Book 'If Life Is A Game, These Are The Rules.' By Cherie Carter-Scott

Created By Lo (Enigmaress).


Rule One - You will receive a body. Whether you love it or hate it, it's yours for life, so accept it. What counts is what's inside.

Rule Two - You will be presented with lessons. Life is a constant learning experience, which every day provides opportunities for you to learn more. These lessons specific to you, and learning them 'is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and relevance of your own life'.

Rule Three - There are no mistakes, only lessons. Your development towards wisdom is a process of experimentation, trial and error, so it's inevitable things will not always go to plan or turn out how you'd want. Compassion is the remedy for harsh judgement - of ourselves and others. Forgiveness is not only divine - it's also 'the act of erasing an emotional debt'. Behaving ethically, with integrity, and with humour - especially the ability to laugh at yourself and your own mishaps - are central to the perspective that 'mistakes' are simply lessons we must learn.

Rule Four - The lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons repeat until learned. What manifest as problems and challenges, irritations and frustrations are more lessons - they will repeat until you see them as such and learn from them. Your own awareness and your ability to change are requisites of executing this rule. Also fundamental is the acceptance that you are not a victim of fate or circumstance - 'causality' must be acknowledged; that is to say: things happen to you because of how you are and what you do. To blame anyone or anything else for your misfortunes is an escape and a denial; you yourself are responsible for you, and what happens to you. Patience is required - change doesn't happen overnight, so give change time to happen.

Rule Five - Learning does not end. While you are alive there are always lessons to be learned. Surrender to the 'rhythm of life', don't struggle against it. Commit to the process of constant learning and change - be humble enough to always acknowledge your own weaknesses, and be flexible enough to adapt from what you may be accustomed to, because rigidity will deny you the freedom of new possibilities.

Rule Six - "There" is no better than "here". The other side of the hill may be greener than your own, but being there is not the key to endless happiness. Be grateful for and enjoy what you have, and where you are on your journey. Appreciate the abundance of what's good in your life, rather than measure and amass things that do not actually lead to happiness. Living in the present helps you attain peace.

Rule Seven - Others are only mirrors of you. You love or hate something about another person according to what love or hate about yourself. Be tolerant; accept others as they are, and strive for clarity of self-awareness; strive to truly understand and have an objective perception of your own self, your thoughts and feelings. Negative experiences are opportunities to heal the wounds that you carry. Support others, and by doing so you support yourself. Where you are unable to support others it is a sign that you are not adequately attending to your own needs.

Rule Eight - 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. Take responsibility for yourself. Learn to let go when you cannot change things. Don't get angry about things - bitter memories clutter your mind. Courage resides in all of us - use it when you need to do what's right for you. We all possess a strong natural power and adventurous spirit, which you should draw on to embrace what lies ahead.

Rule Nine - Your answers lie inside of you. Trust your instincts and your innermost feelings, whether you hear them as a little voice or a flash of inspiration. Listen to feelings as well as sounds. Look, listen, and trust. Draw on your natural inspiration.

Rule Ten - You will forget all this at birth. We are all born with all of these capabilities - our early experiences lead us into a physical world, away from our spiritual selves, so that we become doubtful, cynical and lacking belief and confidence. The ten Rules are not commandments, they are universal truths that apply to us all. When you lose your way, call upon them. Have faith in the strength of your spirit. Aspire to be wise - wisdom the ultimate path of your life, and it knows no limits other than those you impose on yourself.

Blessings,
Lo

  • This was EXCELLENT! Thank you so much for sharing - Love & Light!

  • PS: About the girl in the background. She reminds me of that classic Mark Twain quip:

    Dance like nobody's watching;

    Love like you've never been hurt.

    Sing like nobody's listening

    Live like it's heaven on earth.

    It's just... I don't believe theres a heaven out there, so the closest we may get, is the heaven we create for ourselves down here. That girl has the right idea. she seems to embody the idea of bringing heaven down to earth as she dances like nobody's watching. Just turns me right on.

see all

  • Someone gave me a short printout of this a long time ago. glad I found the extended version

  • @Loaki00 They had human parents that abandoned them, or some other equally sad story.

  • You need to make the text persist a bit longer as currently it runs a little too fast. Not everyone speed reads and I kept having to go back or hit the pause button. 8-10 seonds duration should be the norm for each block of text.

  • @skepticoz Oh gosh!!

    Howd I miss this response. Lol! Thank you 4 the compliment :)

    its def true that one experiences the reality they CHOOSE believe in.

    Sometimes I experience HEAVEN other times - I experience a self- imposed HELL.

    But that is just planet earth - its all about the lessons.

    Hell / heaven - both are necessary.

    Lessons that give growth = HELL

    Lessons that bring healing bcz its all an illusion = HEAVENI

    I absolutely appreciate you - sending blessings your way.

    Lo:)
