A Movie Script For Your Life
November 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Could you write a movie script for your life? Is this
something that you are capable of doing at this moment in time? Please
ignore the fact that it takes a specialize talent to create a
screenplay. The point that I am making is whether or not you have the
ability to write down your life in an autobiographical way. We are not
concerned with spelling, punctuation, or grammar. The only ability is
to be able to put down your life from start-to-finish. Can you do this?

If
we consider our life, we probably could rehash the years gone by. We
can look back upon the events that stick in our mind and set them on
paper. This could be done in a chronological way or we could highlight
those things which impacted us. Either way, our life would be set down
on paper. The biography of (insert name) would contain the early years,
schooling, and work career. Perhaps we would also include the romances
of our life for those who like that sort of thing. From our birth until
this day is written.
There is a problem with this method. It is
an unfinished work. Your life is not at the conclusion. There are still
years left to live. How do we account for this? Obviously, if we were
writing a Hollywood screenplay, they would pay us little for an
unfinished project. They want a completed work. The same concept goes
for your life. It is imperative that you make it a completed work.
How
do we account for the years that are remaining? We do so by writing
them into our script anyway. Instead of looking backwards, we look
forward. What do we want to accomplish in the next 20, 30, or 40 years?
Where do you want to be when you are on your deathbed? Who is in your
life at that time? These are all items which fit ideally into the later
acts of our script.
I am going to surmise that most of you lived
your life up to this point without a script. This is something that was
never written down. Most live each day bouncing from
circumstance-to-circumstance. Life is nothing more than a revolving
door extending from one day to the next. Each day is similar to the
preceding while moving into the future without a clear cut direction.
People often become a product of the situations they encounter.
Everything is reactionary. To maximize your life experience, it is
vital that you become proactive.
Questions hold the key to our
answers. Asking the right questions will unleash the power of creation.
It is the one thing that will allow us to write the script that we want
as opposed to being a reporter of our own life. There is a difference
between reporting what occurred in our life and being the author of it.
One acts as an observer while the other is a participant. This is a key
distinction which I want you to make.
Most ask question like “how
come this always happens to me”. These type of questions withhold the
creativity which is within all of us. It stops the writing of our
script. We need to design a map of how we want the future to proceed.
Our results improve the more concise we get with this.
Why do I
use the example of writing a movie script? This is an analogy which
creates a visual for how we want to apply this concept to our life.
Your life had a beginning and it will have an ending. Those two are out
of your control. Unless you somehow found the fountain of youth, you
will meet the same end as all of us: death. However, what we do in the
middle is what makes the difference. You can be a proactive creator in
your life. Consider all that you want and write it down. Starting at
the end is a helpful exercise. Picture yourself on your deathbed
looking back over your life. Write down all that you have and did. This
will help to formulate your life path.
A movie script develops
different characters within a particular plot. There are different
genres which films fit into. Where do you want your “movie” to be? Is
it a love story? Perhaps you want to write a business movie such as
Wallstreet. Is it an adventure or action film like Romancing The Stone?
No matter what you want to focus upon, you are free to create anything
you like. This is your life that we are talking about. It is time to
get involved in creating it how you see fit. Stop be a servant to the
different life situations that arise. Spend some time creating the
outcome which you desire. It will make you a happier person.
