I found this script some time ago and on re-reading it today realized that it is very relevant to the WA process that we are all involved with. Training and progressing through WA with all its ups and downs is no different to training and progressing through life. Sometimes we are delighted with our results, sometimes we will be disappointed. I think this is worth passing on.

Rules for being Human

You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it but it will be yours for this time around.

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 or stupid.

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 ends up working.

There are no mistakes only lessons.

A lesson is repeated and learnt. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it. When you have learnt it you can then go on to the next lesson.

Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

There is no better place than ‘here’. When your ‘there’ has become ‘here’ you will simply obtain another ‘there’ that will again look better than ‘here’.

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.

What you make of 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.

The answers lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
