The following is not recommended for anyone whose perch on the mental balance beam is at all precarious.
ABOUT LIFE:
1. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of 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 lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. Growth 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 LEARNED. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then 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 to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS.
There are some songs in every genre that I like. I have a preference for highly charged music.
Again, it varies. To keep it simple, I like foreign films, independent films and Hollwood films.
Erin Brockovich
Great background noise. I do enjoy The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Cheap crime novels. My favorite author is Janet Evanovich. She writes mysteries with a twist... humor. I have never read anything that had me laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my eyes. She rocks!
There are some.
