I saw this in a FB post and loved it so much so that I'm blogging it, to keep it for my reference, and may be for posterity.

10 Rules for Being Human
➊ You will receive a body.
➤ You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
➋ You will learn lessons.
➤ You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
➌ There are no mistakes, only lessons.
➤ Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
➍ Lessons are repeated until they are learned.
➤ A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
➎ Learning lessons does not end.
➤ There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
➏ "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."
➐ Other people 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.
➑ 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.
➒ Your answers lie within you.
➤ The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
➓ You will forget all this.
