A Practical Guide to Life

                         A Practical Guide To Life (Whatever That Is)
                            1.There is reason and purpose and harmony in the Universe. We are a
                              part of all that, and a great amount of our work in this life is to learn that
                              lesson.

                            2.We define life in terms of our body. You may like or hate your body, but
                              it is the mechanism that defines what we call life. Most of us start out
                              believing that we are our body, and it takes considerable effort on our
                              part to overcome the complications of that misunderstanding.

                            3.We are here to learn lessons. That is what life is about. Each day we
                              will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or
                              you may think them stupid or irrelevant.

                            4.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and
                              error experimentation. The experiences that we label failures are as
                              valuable a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.

                            5.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
                              completely learned a lesson, you will then go on to the next one.

                            6.Learning lessons does not end. This is what life is about; as long as
                              there is life, there are lessons.

                            7.What you make of this life is up to you. You already have everything
                              you will ever need to learn your lessons. There is nothing you have to
                              do first.

                            8.Every thing you experience in life is neutral. The only value of anything
                              outside yourself is determined by the way you experience it.

                            9.When you have learned that lesson, it will be a powerful tool you can
                              use to set up more lessons.

                           10.The Universe will bring you everything you need to learn your lessons.
                              The value of your experiences is determined by you. The Universe will
                              never bring you more than you can handle.

                           11.What you do with those resources is up to you. Whether your choice is
                              to learn or to fail, the Universe will support your choice, and bring
                              whatever you need to manifest it.

                           12.Whatever you choose, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY !!! From time to
                              time, you will forget this.
