If Life is a Game, These are the Rules
When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better.
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "Success".
A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it, then you can go on to the next lesson.
External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change.
"There" is no better than "Here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here".
Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love hate in yourself.
Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life, or someone else will.
You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract, therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patters in place. Just do your best.
Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or red or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.
You will forget all this.
You can remember any time you wish.
