Manifesting Your Lead Role in the Movie of Your Life: Episode 012

Podcast

January 11, 2018

Imagine someone asks you to write a screenplay. They give you the title: A Perfect Life. Except you don’t get to choose the main character. And you don’t have much control over their childhood. Oh, and you can’t pick their family either. But their friends? All their relationships, jobs, and each and every choice they make in their life? That’s all you. You’re the guiding hand in their personal adventure where, at every stop, your pen writes the next paragraph. Because you are the main character in your own life story. Today, Dustin R. Granger, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and I want to help you become the hero in your own story, and live the life of your choice. Manifesting your ideal life screenplay is Worth It.

Live your life like it’s a movie

Everyone loves movies, and a lot of people wish their life was just like one. Movies excite us, give us a chance to think, and can even motivate us to live better lives. The truth is, you are the main character in your life, and you’re filming your story right now. With the right mindset, you can use that philosophy to tackle whatever scene comes your way and manifest your ideal life screenplay.

You are who you think you are

  1. Who are You?: Dustin says if your DNA is your hardware, then your experiences, wisdom and what you have learned is the software. These two things often mold us towards who we think we should be. Sometimes, in order to make a change, it requires us to look back and understand the influences and situations that have shaped us so far.
  2. Who do you want to be?: Now that you have looked back to understand what has molded and shaped you, it’s time to decide who you want to be. What does your life look like ten years from now? What does success look like for you? Having a clear idea of this will help you aim for the target. We suggest starting with George Kinder’s 3 questions.
  3. You are who you think you are: Ralph Waldo Emerson says “a person is what he or she thinks about all day long.” This has also been called the Law of Attraction, meaning that you have the power to bring to you the things you focus on and think about. Do you want to be successful? More engaged with the people around you? Experience more joy? Start thinking about these things every day.

Be overcome by your self-belief

  1. Start believing: Believing is more than mental ascent. As you begin to plan your ideal life, as you begin to write the script for your own movie, you have to believe that those good things are actually possible. You must be overcome by your self-belief.
  2. Visualize: It’s one thing to speak affirmations about your life, it’s another thing to visualize them happening. Get a picture of what your end goal looks like, from exam grades to the house you live in ten years from now. This is a powerful tool that has been proven to work over and over. The first step to manifest your ideal life screenplay is to create your vision.

Act your life character

  1. Act your life character: Christopher Columbus had no royal lineage, yet he married into noble blood, assured his position and presented his case as if the world should cater to his requests. Ultimately, it did. All he did was live out the life character that he had created for himself, and the opportunity was presented. Had he not been so bold, history would perhaps be written very differently.
  2. Seize the opportunities: As the character in your own story, you are going to have opportunities presented to you that may help you achieve your goals. The world is leaning forward in anticipation to see what choices you will make. Carpe Diem, charge forward, take the risk!
