This is part 2 of The Rules For Being Human. Read part 1 here.

Ultimately, “THERE” IS NO BETTER THAN “HERE”

When your “there” has become a “here” (when you achieve or accomplish this or that), you will simply obtain another “there” that will, again, look better than “here”. In the game of life, it’s the way things work. The illusion comes in when we think we are going to be more happy when we get “there”.

OTHERS ARE SIMPLY MIRRORS OF YOU

You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. Put another way, you can only be inspired by another because it reflects something living in yourself, at least as a seed of possibility.

WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU

You have all the tools you need; what you do with them is up to you. The choice to act is yours.

YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE OF YOU

The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. Like approaching an old railroad crossing on a country road, all you need to do is stop, look and listen—and I would add, trust. Trust in the guidance of something much grander than yourself.

YOU WILL MOST LIKELY FORGET ALL OF THIS…

AND YOU CAN REMEMBER

It’s important to reward yourself as you remember (that you forgot). To punish yourself or beat yourself up for forgetting is simply another symptom of forgetting; an example or proof that you haven’t fully remembered.

There you have it. The beauty of these principles is that it doesn’t matter if they are true or not. Your life will transform simply by operating “as if” they are true.
