The Rules of the World

"life is easier when you know the rules"


No one seems to knows who wrote these rules. I challenge you to read these rules and see if you can find anything to disagree with. The more I contemplate 'the rules' the more profound they appear to me. If you agree, I strongly recommend that you print them and keep them so you won't have to repeat your lessons in life (like me)


1 We only get one body.

2. We will learn lessons.

3. Lessons often appear as mistakes or failures.

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.

5. If we don't learn the easy lessons, they get harder.

6. We'll know we've learned the lesson when our actions change.

7. We will tend to forget the lessons.

8. We can remember the lessons anytime we wish.

I wish that someone had taught me those rules when I was young, I could have avoided a lot of painful lessons. I like them so much, I think I'll go tattoo to them to my son's head. He'll thank me when he gets older!
