RULES FOR BEING HUMAN
Rule #1: You will learn lessons.
Rule #2: There are no mistakes – only lessons.
Rule #3: A lesson is repeated until it is learned.
Rule #4: If you don’t learn the easy lessons, they get harder. (Pain is one way the universe gets your attention.)
Rule #5: You’ll know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change.

REFLECTION:
- What have been your biggest life lessons?
- Are there mistakes you can re-label “lessons?’
- What lessons did you need to repeat? Continue to repeat?
- What actions do you need to change to ensure you’ve learned the lesson and no longer need to repeat it?
