In reply to steph.

Hey Steph – I got quite involved with #6 while in New Zealand, trying to learn the art of meditation:

And yes, even as perpetual travelers we can be “here”. 🙂

wow… #6… is that true or what. I guess in a way i’m a propetual traveler so put it, so it’s good to remember to slow down and enjoy where u are, at that moment… it’s easy to forget. Those are some good rules. oh it’s also good to remember that there are others like me too!!

@Nick – Love it! I personally find #4 to be a pesky thorn in my side. Sometimes I don’t even know what the lessons are (I think if I knew, then the lesson would be learned and I could move on!), so I see them being presented over and over again.

A list worth reading! Little worried that #4 and 10 are the ones I jive with the most. But at least I’m laughing as I write this (well, I have a wry smile on my face, which must count for something…)

@John – Ha ha – I love the placenta note! Too true…I wonder how much we “forget” as we get entrenched in life and society…..I know that we forget how to laugh as we age: children laugh something like 400 times a day….adults: 7 times a day.

Too funny! I “discovered” this set of rules at least 20 years ago. It was called “Life’s Handbook” and had an end note that read something like, “these rules come with every new birth, they were printed on your placenta but unfortunately were thrown out in the delivery room. What goes around comes around!

@Mark – I believe some of our greatest challenges in life come when we stop learning. In fact, I’m not even sure it’s possible to stop learning! It is possible, though, to stop trying to learn…

Awesome set of guidelines for being human. We are always students and should learn from just about everything we do.
