Introduction
If I was naive enough to believe that I could have everything that I’ve ever dreamed what would I hope for? My hopes have remained the same throughout my life. Despite the impracticality or the measure of impossibility my heart and my mind still want the same thing. Part of it is the realization that I could thrive off my various passions and be good at them. Part of me wants the praise and the recognition that comes with these dreams, the love that such a career brings. And then another part of it thinks that maybe it’ll save me. Perhaps it will separate from this life that I live that I struggle to maintain. I hope it’ll give me the happiness I need to want to survive. Maybe I’ll be content. I put so much of my hope, pride, and self-worth into this dream that isn’t realized. I don’t feel comfortable saying 'yet’ because it isn’t an assurance. There is nothing in my life that would make me feel confident that my dreams could come true.
It seems so much easier for others to have the life I want and the appearance of happiness. I couldn’t fake being happy no matter how hard I tried, my real emotions always have a way to show through. There’s always a possibility that the impossible could prove itself possible, that I could find a way to manifest my dreams into reality, but I could still be unhappy. I would still carry with me the same worries I have now and maintain the low perspective I have of myself. That the burdens of my dreams were stronger than I’d ever thought of and I am truly unprepared for it. And then there’s the slightest possibility that it could be all that I ever hoped for. That it would be good for me, and that I would finally have a place where I would fit.
Overall, this blog is a part of my dream. I didn’t think I could have a blog and post on it. Even without an audience, I’m not sure if I have anything meaningful to say or anything insightful to add. I’m unsure if it’ll be successful or if I could build anything from it. It’s taking me a long time to enjoy it, to enjoy writing as I once did. I’ve always wanted to be an author. I was constantly writing stories when I was younger and I was convinced that it was what I would do when I was older. I’m twenty-one now and though that is still young, I thought I would’ve accomplished more than I have by now. I always compare myself to my favorite celebrities who’ve achieved status and success young and I’d hope that I would be like them by now. I’m surrounded by people who say they’re happy but why don’t I feel that happiness too?
Manifestation
I don’t think there’s a way to separate myself from my daydreams. The best parts of me only exist within, the fictional part of me is the only version of myself I love. I know people use manifestation as a means of trying to achieve their dream lives. Manifestation is the practice of using belief to get something in your life. Our thoughts shape our reality. Manifestation as a concept is a tool to reconnect and realize our aspirations. Many have said that they’ve used manifestation to improve their lives, I’m not sure if it’s reconstructed beliefs that changed it or if the changes happened seemingly by mere blessings. I’ve hoped for things, I believed that things would happen for myself and I’m disappointed to say that they still haven’t happened.
There are several manifestation techniques but the one I am interested in discussing is scripting. Scripting is a creative writing technique that describes your desires as if they’ve happened. It uses visualization, intention, and written communication to help you identify your dream life. The practice of scripting is rooted in the Law of Attraction where the principle philosophy is that we receive what we attract - positivity attracts positive results and negativity attracts negative results. The law of attraction isn’t some magical or mystical phenomenon that improves your life when practiced. It is better when considered as a mindset shift - you are more than likely to have positive results if you think and act in positivity. This law doesn’t provide immediate solutions to problems but leads to a more optimistic perspective on life.
Scripting
How does scripting relate? It is a technique under the law of attraction that lets you write down your desires and goals. Have you ever heard that if you write something down you are more likely to achieve it? Scripting can be used in that way. Writing down your goals can give you a more concentrated view of what you want to accomplish. If you are clear with what you want out of life then you can make a plan to get it. Scripting is more than writing down your dreams with the hope of achieving them. You write your desires as if you’ve already accomplished them. You focus on the emotions involved with the desires you are trying to reach. Then you act in alignment with those desires.
Manifestation alone doesn't bring about a dramatic shift in your life. I feel like scripting and manifestation are best suited for understanding what you want and the outcome you desire for your life. But action is what brings about change - not just hoping and belief. For me, I have always desired to be a singer. The dream used to be more grand when I was younger but that is what I have wanted more than anything. This dream has no chance of becoming a reality if I keep the desire only in my head. I am putting my desire into action by taking vocal lessons to improve my voice and develop proper technique. I have always wanted to be a writer so to put that dream into motion I started a blog to develop my skills and to reach an audience. You can’t rely on a mysterious force to give you what you want without effort.
Using Scripting and Manifestation
Manifesting a better life for yourself starts with believing what you want is possible. Use your belief to motivate you to accomplish what you’re dreaming of. I don’t fully believe in myself and my capabilities so my ability to manifest seems limited.
personal script
I am so grateful that I have accomplished my goals of being a successful singer and author. I am grateful for putting in the effort to get vocal lessons and practice developing my voice. The effort I put into practicing gave me confidence in my voice and I became comfortable in it. I can sing high notes with ease, and I can sing songs of idols properly.
I was able to start a band with me as the lead singer. I learned so much about music through my lessons, from how to read music to perfecting pitch accuracy, that I began to write my own. I’ve released several EPs and an album, which have been successful. I have received praise for my writing style and the quality of my music. I developed my style and sound that is distinct to me as an artist. I am involved in all processes of my music along with my bandmates. I am comfortable performing on stage to all sorts of crowds. I developed a commanding and charming stage presence. I took classes to become a better dancer on stage. Through my music, I have been able to start living comfortably. It has afforded me the privilege to pursue other interests as well.
I’ve learned how to bead, sew, and crochet, and I’ve designed and made my stage outfits. I crochet a lot now since I like to keep myself productive. I grew my blog into a successful business. I monetized my blog and sold zines of my poetry. With the attention I garnered from my blog, I was able to publish my first novelette. Since my first story, I’ve published many collections and novels - all of which have been very successful and received critical acclaim. Currently, I am working on opening my publishing firm.
In all of this, I am happy. Not just with all of the things I’ve accomplished but I am happy within myself. I am at peace with myself. The journey to success taught me to trust and show up for myself. I found value within myself that is not reliant on my changing feelings or the opinions of others. It is no longer a struggle for me to act in my own best interest. I am grateful that I was able to change my life and pursue my passions.
