As a enfant, we didn’t write our Life’s Manuscript
As we travel through life, we meet many different people and we have many different experiences. And, the collection of these occurrences are the sum total of our Life’s Manuscript. Hence, every soul, every life is a story and we react according to what has been written within the pages of our book.
When young, the opinions of others entered into our Life’s Book
When we were growing up, we were both naïve and impressionable, as a result we allowed many people to write a myriad of truths and untruths within the blank pages of our book. Our families, friends, teachers, and a host of other acquaintances throughout our life’s journey took the liberty of imprinting their personal beliefs, whether right or wrong, within our pages. Naturally, we were too young to discern what was the truth about us and what was false about us.
As adults, we now suffer from the earlier writers who gave us our truths, our beliefs, and our self-worth
The problems that many people face in the present are the result of what was consciously and unconsciously written within the various chapters of their Life’s Manuscript in the past. As such, if a young child was told they were not intelligent, they are not intelligent; if a young person was told they were unworthy, they are unworthy; and if a young person was told that money was the root of evil and can only bring unhappiness, they are unhappy in mountains of debt. Sad to say, however, if they are unable to edit out the negative messages, they will remain the same in the future.
The negative messages from our youth can haunt us throughout our adult life
In the end, the paragraphs of your book, which are your beliefs, your unconscious and conscious reactions to the many things that you face in life, manifest as your realities. When a person is in an undesirable place in their life, for example, being in debt or a bad relationship, they want to change their reality. However, their beliefs, which were written long ago, hold them back from moving forward and out of their present situation.
How can we escape our “unpleasent present” from the entries made in our Life’s Manuscript when we were young?
A person struggles with change: they vow to never use their credit card to pay for some unwanted item or they promise never to date an uncaring person. Still, they just cannot change their present unpleasant situation. It is no wonder then that these people, who are trapped by their beliefs and unable to cope with their realities, suffer from dysfunctional feelings such as fear, depression, and anxiety. Then they turn to drugs, alcohol, and other destructive habits to relieve their hurt.
Your Life’s Manuscript is account of your past and not who you are. You can rewrite what was written
You must realize that your Life’s Manuscript is not who you are, rather, it’s an account of what you have experienced. Like a wise copywriter who is responsible for the end product, you must take sole responsibility and edit out the falsehoods from the different chapters in your life that block personal and spiritual success. Make the effort to rewrite your beliefs and you will rewrite your realities.
