If you have come across the “Rules for Being Human” sometime during the last twenty-five years, you may have chosen to photocopy them and keep them in front of you on your desk or cubicle wall. These “rules” have been passed around and gained popularity over the years – while the author was yet unknown.
Now, in a book entitled, “If Life is a Game, These are the Rules,” author Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. has not only claimed herself as the author of these Rules for Being Human, but she has expanded the explanations of each rule to provide deeper insight into the universal truths from where each of these rules came.
Below is a slightly expanded version of her rules taken from several various sources and compiled together for you. If you enjoy the following, consider purchasing the book.
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for as long as you live. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make a difference in the quality of your life.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called “Life on Planet Earth.” Each day, you will be presented with opportunities to learn what you need to know. The lessons presented are often completely different from those you think you need. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. 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. Wisdom is practice. When you have learned the lesson (as evidenced by a change in your attitude and ultimately your behavior) then you can go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
“There” is no better a place than “here”. When your “there” has become a “here” you will simply discover another “there” that will again look better than your “here.”
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. When tempted to criticize others, ask yourself why you feel so strongly.
What you make of your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life -- or someone else will. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you create with those tools and resources is up to you.
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.
The answers lie inside of you. The solutions to all of life’s problems lie within your grasp. 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 read or been told. All you need to do is ask, look, listen, and trust.

You can remember any time you wish.
