UPON THE WINGS OF EAGLES

Upon the wings of eagles, build your every dream....

Don't back down if they appear and sound, to be a bit extreme....

Focus all your energy in a good and positive space....

And you'll be ready for anything that will meet you face to face....

Some will always tell you, you can't do this or that....

But the ones who tell you things like this,

Will stay exactly where they are at....

So build your dreams, they're yours to build,

And open up your skies...

And when they start to be fulfilled is when you'll realize....

You're the only one who'll hold you back;

Your attitude will make or break you...

So if upon this life you feel, you want to make your mark,

Go for it friends, cause you hold the light,

That will guide you through the dark.

10 RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's your to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life."
3. 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.
4. Lessons are repeated until they are 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's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. There is not better place than here. When your there has become a here, you will simply obtain another there that will look better than here.
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all of this !!
