On June 22, 2015, my grandmother, Augusta Li, passed away at the age of 90.  In times such as this when those who loved her are missing her presence the most, I encourage you to read her words of wisdom and honor her memory by carrying these lessons in your heart.  And in that way, she will always be with us.  Pau Pau, thank you for teaching us to live our lives with a loving and open heart by your shining example.  You are my sunshine, always and forever.   “Guideline Rules for Being Human” By Augusta Li

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 an enormous difference in the quality of your life.

You will learn lessons.  You are enrolled in a full time informal school called Life. 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.

There are no mistakes, only lessons.  Growth is a process of trials, errors, and experimentations.  You can learn as much from failures are you can from success.  Maybe more.

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 as evidence by change in your attitude and ultimately your behavior- then you go on to the next lesson.  

Learning Lessons does not end.  There is no stage of life that does not contain some lessons.  As long as you live- there will be something more to learn.

“There” is no better than “here.”  When your “there” has become “here,” you will simply discover another “there”... that will again look better than your “here.”  Don’t be fooled by believing that the unattainable is better than what you have.

Others are mirrors of you.  You cannot love and hate something about another person unless it reflects something you hate and love about yourself.  When tempted to criticize others, ask yourself why you feel so strongly.

What you make of your life is up to you.  You have all the tools and resources you need.  What you create with those tools and resources is up to you.

Remember that through desire goal setting and unflagging effort that you can have anything you want.  Persistence is the key to success.  The answers lie inside you.  The solutions to all of life’s problems lie within your grasp.  All you need to do is ask, look, listen, and trust!

You will forget all this.  Unless you consistently stay focused on the goals you have set for yourself, everything you’ve just read won’t mean a thing.

Like all such “rules.”  There are several flaws.

Life is unfair, and so set of “rules” can be applied to everyone.  Physical handicaps, mental limitations, genetic glitches, and just plain lousy luck can and do show up and make a world of difference.

What this world need is fewer rules and more compassion!  

Amen
