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 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.
   
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 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. Your answers lie inside you. The answer to life's
   questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
   
10. This will often be forgotten, only to be remembered
    again.
