1. You will receive a body. You may like
it or hate it, but it will be yours for 
the entire period this time around. 

2. 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 and
stupid. 

3. 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 ultimately "works". 

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. 
A lesson will be presented to you in various 
forms until you have learned it.

When you have learned it, you can then go 
on to the next lesson. 

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

6. "There" is no better than "here". 
When your "there" has become a "here" 
you will simply obtain another "there" 
that will, again, look better than "here". 

7. 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. 

8. 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. 

9. Your answers lie inside you. The 
answers to life's questions lie inside 
you. All you need to do is look, listen, 
trust. 

10. You will forget all this.
