In my last post, I talked about the power that your thoughts and words have.

Now in connection to that, I'd like to share a lesson that Bro. Bo shared in one of his talks. The lesson is about being the scriptwriter of your life. It's part of a series of the things that you need to do to be truly rich.

Bro. Bo said that one secret to being truly rich is to be committed to your dreams. To be committed, you have to be specific to what you want in life. And the best way to do that is to be the scriptwriter of your own life.

A scriptwriter is someone who creates the script for a movie, tv show or play. So you being the scriptwriter simply means, that you put in writing everything that you want to happen in your life. There's no limit to it, just put everything in there and be very specific.

Bro. Bo used 15 pages to write the script of his life. He was very specific with most of the details that he wants to happen. I didn't need that much paper though, I only needed 4 sheets of a regular sized notebook to write down my script.

Why do you need a script? As I mentioned in my last post, our words are very powerful when it comes to influencing ourselves and others, that's why we need to always be wary of what we say to ourselves and to others.

In the same way, a script are written words, words that have the power to influence us. So if you were to write something down that you know has the power to influence you, wouldn't you write down the things that you want?

Writing them down is just the first part. After writing your script, it's important that you read it everyday. Read it day and night, after you wake up and before you go to sleep. Reading what you wrote down is the secret to making sure it happens in your life.

Why? Because as you read your script regularly and hear it, you're subconsciously influencing yourself to act in a way that will help you achieve that dream. It's as if you're always reminding yourself of the dreams and goals that you want to achieve in life.

Bro. Bo was able to already able to achieve most of the things that he wrote down in his 15 page script. I'm still on the journey of achieving most of mine (a few have already happened though).

So first take a moment of your time and write down what you want to happen in your life. Write down, specifically, everything that you want to happen. Write the kind of future that you would want for your life. Be the scriptwriter.

Then read what you wrote down regularly. Read it to remind yourself of it.
