Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending-

Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-

If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-

When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-

If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking-

Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching.

If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-

There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

Rules for Human Beings

1. You Will Receive A Body: You may 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 lesson or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There Are No Mistakes, Only Lessons: There 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 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 a '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 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 do is look, listen and trust.

10. You Will Forget All This.

11. You Can Remember It Whenever You Want

You´ve Got Choices.............

You´ve got this moment... You can choose to be happy or unhappy. You can choose what you think, what you say and how you feel. You can choose to be hopeful or hopeless, to respond angrily or cheerfully, to be bored or interested.

You´ve got this day... No matter what the weather is like, you can choose what kind of day it will be - beautiful or awful or somewhere in between. You can choose what you will do and what you won´t - to give up or give in or go on. You have a choice to do something or nothing, to start now or later. You can choose your attitude about what you´re facing.

You´ve got your life... If you´re not happy, satisfied, encouraged and hopeful, you´re cheating yourself. You can talk and talk to yourself about what you need to do to honour your life but if you don´t turn those thoughts into actions, you´re just playing games and giving up to whatever comes to mind.

You´ve got the power to make choices... Your life is the manifestation of the choices you make each moment and each day. When you use this wonderful gift to your best advantage, there is nothing you can´t do.
