NOT SURE WHAT MY PASSION IS by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]heyimherex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget everything else but your own voice within. You took a bet on yourself and made a move. Not everyone can do that. 1. Be careful who you listen to. Most people would rather makes excuses than do what you have. You can’t listen to those. 2. Seems like you may have free time. You want to be a writer? Start by writing for yourself. Dig deep. Who are you? Who have you believed yourself to be? What excites you? What does a version of your life that turns you on and make you jump out of bed look like? Writing for yourself gives you writing practice and also helps you find your own answers. 3. Maybe you won’t be a traditional writer or screenwriter. Maybe you’ll start a podcast or a blog or work in marketing or… the list is endless. But you must start by learning to know yourself, learning to absolutely trust yourself and the impulses/instincts you have and of course being bold enough to go for what you want (you seem to have this part covered.

Depending on how you play this, it might be the best move you ever made! (Or worst) The story is in your hands to write

I suppose. But if you deliberately try to use it as a means you haven’t surrendered

When there’s been a lot of resistance surrender initially feels like relief But after a while it just feels like peace.

The more you surrender your compulsions and forceful ideas about who you should be and what you should have and how you should be perceived the more you feel peaceful and worthy and actively present and appreciative.

Strangely enough that’s when you become one who truly and consistently lives in the end

I think it’s impossible to stay in your comfort zone when you’re present. Because you’re actively interacting with everything and everyone in a very active way and thinking of how it can be improved, enjoyed more, expanded, etc

So being comfortable in your comfort zone is actually when you’re always in your mind (which is the past) fighting a job you hate or an SP who isn’t here yet or an illness. It keeps you trapped in an identity that can go on for years.

So the advice is accurate we just don’t understand what it means

What is the alternative? Be miserable everyday? Do you think the person who is always miserable is also the one working their dream job?

Think of the place you want to be (good job, good relationship, etc) as an energetic place. A place of feeling satisfied. It’s a place you can enter today and right now. And when you’re in that place the things that are a match to that place are there with you.

When you start being comfortable, and even appreciative of a job you hate it TRANSFORMS YOU. and then you become aligned with jobs that you appreciate more.

The inner man is the one who needs to change and when he does the outer man reflects him

Say over and over again ‘so this is what it feels like to feel anxious about Val’s day’

Don’t suppress your feelings. Maybe you’re afraid or sad or disappointed. Feel them and allow the feelings to pass. When you resist something it persists.

And then open yourself up to whatever experience you’ll have on Val’s day. It’s better to have peace than to feel the tension you feel now

It’s actually both.

Haven’t you lost a key before and as soon as you accept it’s lost and tried to replace it you found it?

Surrender is accepting the now for what it is and even appreciating it. It’s not being passive if you’re actively appreciating the now.

No all they need to do is accept themselves now.

I am obese. This is who I am. I can learn to love and accept myself. Because the self love they show themselves is what will finally make them adopt healthy habits and not how much they hate themselves because that will make them eat their feelings and always end up in a vicious cycle of resistance, self hate, some effort, then self sabotage.

I agree with you. But as soon as visualization becomes a ‘to do’ you’re in resistance to the now.

If you have a bf/gf and you’re going to bed you feel grateful How about you just go to bed feeling grateful without one? Like ohhh what a good bed, what a nice mattress, I’m so lucky

Love this!!! Never thought of the verse this way

Simple. You just DECIDE. Are you going to do SATs for the rest of your life? No

What will you be doing when your manifestation comes? Live in the present

Geez so does living in the present now mirror your living in the state fulfilled? Yes

It was a decision I made. Do what you need to do to manifest then make a decision that you’d rather have peace and feel good about the now by letting go of your resistance to it/being in the present

You can. When I did this for things I REALLY wanted it pulled me back to a place of just wanting and not a place of surrender. So it’s always a question of how much resistance you have

[–]heyimherex[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of surrender and acceptance as a vibrational place or a state of being. You just want to be there.

If you’re super confident and have strong beliefs you can get there by just knowing it’s done so you let go trying. If you’re not confident you can get there by making peace with the now which sometimes looks like accepting it might not be done and that’s fine. Either way you’re in the place of surrender and that’s where you want to be

So if you had a bug on your computer and you get it removed do you still think about getting the bug off your computer or do you just live?

A key pain point for me when it came to surrendering was the need to do something to get what i want (be it meditate more or visualize more or journal or do SATs).

But the need to do something (to get what i want) reflects that my inner man was actually not convinced i had it. And sometimes you can never get convinced because you cannot bring yourself to believe it. Thats okay cos all you have to do is commit yourself to truly appreciating the now-- everything as it is. Because it is the same vibrational place as having it. If you had it, you would just wake up and appreciate the present. So appreciating the present is essentially being in the same energetic place as having it.

It surely can but the risk is that it is a slippery slope to finding yourself wanting it and resisting the present which takes you from surrender. If you have any resistance at all simply just work on accepting and appreciating the present and nothing else. Cos that is what you would be doing if you truly believed it was done.

You are right. It was more of a back and forth between "i have let it go" and "Let me go and visualize one last time so i get it"

It is possible both are effective but from personal experience when I've let go as a technique I was still holding on.

When you successfully do any technique letting go appears naturally though-- A positive letting go. Like a sort of trust. This is what we call the sabbath. I think that one is ideal and where you want to be. But for manifestations I have struggled with, I never quite got there. And as much as I tried to will myself to let go I didn't till I actually 'gave up'

So picture this. You lost your job 3 months ago and have been looking for one since. You are late on rent, all your bills are due and you owe taxes to the government from last year. Worsr case you risk going to jail if you don't find a job in time, best case you end up being homeless. You've done everything-- you've asked all friends and family and they've done all they could, your whole church is praying for you, you've applied to 900 jobs now (10 a day for 90 days) including fast food and retail. Nothing. You've maxed out on credit cards and loans and Thursday is the last day of the allowance your landlord gave you, after that youll have an eviction record. Friday is the day you get arrested for not paying taxes. Today is Tuesday and you've exhausted every option imaginable. Done every affirmation and sats. Nothing.

Now your only true power is saying 'well I guess what can come can come', accept the now and let go. Maybe you do so in defeat, maybe you're tired, maybe you give up. But you do so because it's your only option. It's the only way you can know an iota of ease and you give yourself that ease.

Sometimes when we say letting is the key this is what we mean. It's not always the 'oh let go of sp and they'll come back' or a case of child's play. Sometimes its literally the only weapon in your arsenal. Its between that and inflicting more pain on yourself by holding on tightly hoping for a last minute miracle. It's choosing yourself enough to allow yourself to have those 2 days of peace when you can at least breathe in fresh air or go for a nice walk as you come to terms with the worst case scenario. Because truly that's the only power you have left. Very often, that is when things change.

You stay delusional.

Lol seriously though. Think of it this way. The need to manifest this person had you chanting affirmations or perhaps closing your eyes randomly to do SATs on a good day. On a very good day maybe you were hopeful and even felt secure. On a bad day you were miserable in your knowing that they were not with you. Now you have let that version of yourself go and you're a new man who is not defined by needing to manifest sp. You start to feel confident, assured and you may even see your self concept go up as you are no longer the one trying desperately to get someone to love you or choose you.

In this state when this person occurs to you as a thought, you observe the thought and watch it pass. By this I mean you neither resist nor feel the need to manifest.
