=================================================================
SCHOOL OF LIFE
==============
AUTHOR: JAMES BAHRNES @MLO
1. You will receive a body. You may not 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 "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 answers to life's questions lie inside
you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
10. You will forget all this when you begin life.

| 1007.1 | Some Great Truths | ELESYS::JASNIEWSKI | just a revolutionary with a pseudonym | Wed Mar 22 1989 08:12 | 16 |
This is all so true. Funny, how some people look for the cause
of this truth, as if it's "something" or there's "something there"
causing this to happen. Instead of accepting that it "just is"...
Acceptance is hard, I know!
I've never fully understood humankind's need for "some outside
entity" as an explanation for these kinds of things! Like "the reason
why life always presents one with a lesson to learn". Oh, that's
So 'n So's "will" or whatever. Uh huh. Hey, if it works for you,
I think that's great!
Just dont go drop a bomb on *my* street cause I happen to feel
or believe "differently"...

re .1 (joe jas)
"because I happen to believe differently"
All I's 'believe differently and they think it is their truth. Is
not so. Truth is truth and EXACTLY same for everybody. Only thing
is, truth is beyond the I. As long as we think the I is it, we are
not even looking in the right direction. Sorry joe, try harder and
go beyond what you 'believe' towards what 'is', and it 'is ' really
there and can be proved.
regards j.
