Life should NOT be a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
Beer in one hand - strawberries in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming
WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE !
"I found this hanging on the wall of a job-network provider"

Rules For Being Human
1. You will receive a body.
You may either like or hate it,
but it will be yours for the entire period this time round.
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in the ftill 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 experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.
4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it. When you have learned it you can then go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons do not end.
No part of life does not contain it's lesson. If you are alive there are lessons to be learnt.
6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become "here", you will simply obtain another "there" which again will look better than "here".
7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something to you that you love or hate about yourself.
8. 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.
9. The answers lie within you.
The answer's to all life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
10. YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS.

Going with the flow
Throughout our lives we have a tendency to become obsessed
by the relentless pursuit of material things,
houses, cars, clothes, furniture, boats, toys and trinkets.
The more we HAVE,
the more we want.
The more we WANT,
the more we get . .
The more we GET,
the more we WEIGH OURSELVES DOWN.
The end result to all this acquisition is that if and when the crunch comes, we suddenly find ourselves buried under a mountain of possessions, most of which we have little or no use for.
A wise old pundit once said that
if we own any more than 100 items in our lives, it is too much.
Ascertain what you really need to survive in this world and get rid of the rest.
Advertise them, have a garage sale, give them to friends or charity.
The more fluid you become, the easier you will be able to move through life.
To circumnavigate the problems.
And to be free.
