The Art of Scripting Your Life

Writing a 'life script' is like writing a movie script. You need to create a feeling, evoke emotional responses and create the scenarios. You dream up the story, you write the lines and act it out. Why? Because you have the ability to create your life as you would like it to be. So many people live their life with the concept that they play whatever hand is dealt them. This can feel un-empowering, depressing and instill feelings of resignation and pain. You have so much more to do with your life plan than you realize.

What is a life script? It is the written version of the story about your WANTS that is so vivid and real that you can see/feel/taste/touch it as you think about it and write it. In other words, it's the written story of your life as you desire it to be.

What is the purpose? Scripting your life gives your life direction, meaning and purpose. Scripting bring pure positive energy to that which you desire. It is the act of co-creating with a Higher Power.

We aren't here to just live our lives according to fate and putting out one fire after another. We have the ability and inherent power to create the life we choose. It's like putting your order in to the Universe. If you go to a restaurant you don't eat whatever they decide to bring you- you place your order! This process is very similar. It follows the principle of "Energy follows Thought."

If you give enough of your thoughts and attention to a particular set of circumstances or outcome, then the energy fuels that creative form.

By writing the script the way we choose, we create our life as we want it. It takes conscious focus, intention and attention however. Just writing a script isn't enough. You need to read it every day, think about it, feel yourself living it everyday? and feel passionate about it! The more you can feel yourself living the new role, the more the energy creates it in your life. Your Life Script becomes your everyday intention to create extraordinary results in your life.

It sounds complicated, but it's very simple. Perhaps the most challenging part is making the daily commitment to know that you are already living your new life script. This process involves determination, attention to detail and feeling the feelings. Feeling how it feels to move forward and live your life in a new way is powerful and exciting.

You have all the tools you need to create your life the way you want it to be. So why not take the initiative and step into your new role as co-creator?

Why 'co-creator'? Because you partner WITH the Universe to create the new life you want. No longer are you just living whatever is handed to you as a child of the Universe. You step into an adult role, taking new levels of responsibility for your life. You become the writer. You are no longer just the actor taking directions from the Director; you begin to create the direction yourself!

This is truly an exercise in self empowerment. Taking the leap to create your future is how you step into your full potential.
