Taking control of your life takes all the same steps that are involved in making a blockbuster movie. Their are actors, people in your life, people whom will play many parts including supporting roles, their are sets, or environments that support the actors and yourself in those roles, their is planning or writing of the screenplay for your new ideal life, and their is editing and executing your plan into action.

Generate the script of your new life be an active role in your own movie. Just writing your dreams and reading it won't do much good, although you will understand how it works. Life is not so hard if you take the right steps. The only difference between you and someone living your ideal life is they took the time to generate the script for their desired life and they took action. It's as simple as that.

Most people are living on autopilot and can't figure out why they are in a tailspin most of the time. They don't have time or energy to do something different or to try something they want to do.

It is important if you want your life to feel free and harmonious to take a few steps first. You must take out some time for yourself to plan your life strategy. Life is not something you should plan on the fly. If you fail to plan you plan to fail. Period.

If your ideal life were a movie what would it look like? Feel like? Smell like? Taste like? Sound like? You need to think like a movie script writer, producer, director, pre-production, editing, and post production staff does. To get your ideal life you will need to write your movie script then generate your life around you to support the lead character in this movie- YOU!

Generate your movie (preproduction and script writing = figure out what your perfect like looks like then PLAN IT on paper not in your head!) you will then generate the sets for your movie, including location, location, location, which will be the environment around you that will support you in making the change easily, then we will go in and figure out what parts of your rough draft script (your current circumstances and actions) need "editing".

Some things will be cut out, others added; a lot of changes will have to be made so that everything flows perfectly. Your environment is incredibly important to making this happen. The end movie will be your masterpeice! Success is your Emmy!

Once you have the movie written, edited (once you see how it will be you will be able to contrast it with your new life plan/script experience) and ready to "shoot the first take", then you will be ready to put the whole thing into action. Their will be many takes, changes, and edits to get it right and it will take some time to do this, patience is a must.

Once you get into the movie and it's about to wrap up you need to do post production which involves generating the next steps- Your goals, new dreams, or cultivation of your current dreams through planning. This movie will have many sequels.

To get your life in order you have to sit down and make a list of things you want, how you want to live and what your dreams are. You should write your dreams down in intricate detail so you can visualize it in every way. If you want a different living environment what does it look like? How does it smell? what kind of food will you stock in the refrigerator? Will you have an espresso machine? Will you live alone? Do you want to be in love?

Figure out first what you want in your most ideal life. Don't think about how you will get it, don't worry about money or how possible it is, believe me anything is possible. Take a day to write this list, or you can even generate the list, tag it to your refrigerator or wall in your room, and add to it every day for a month as things come to you. Think and meditate on the question all day "What do I want in my idea life" as you experience your day things will come to you, write them down. Don't take for granted you will remember because you wont.

When you've compiled a list that is so exhaustive you could practically build a movie production of your dream and ideal life then your ready for the next step- Lifestyle change.

If your not bursting with fruit flavor about your current life then your not living your ideal lifestyle. If you continue to do things as you always have this is going to be your continued result. Nothing will change. If you want something better, more liberating then you have to change everything to a script that will make the other life happen. It will take time and work, but you can have it.

Think about things like do you want to work for yourself or someone else? Do you want to be a freelance writer or author, or would you be stoked to write blogs for a living (like I do). Try to nail every part of your life in your "production script" for your new life. The first step is essentially that, you're generating a movie of your new life and you want to treat it like your writing a play by play script for a movie. Your the Executive producer of your new life. You have to be able to see it in detail so you can generate the next step. Action!

Make sure you till the soil and plant the seeds that will grow around you and give you access to your perfect future. Tilling the soil is going out and playing around with things you like like what kind of work would you enjoy, find ways to do that work. Make friends who work somewhere that will give you access to it somehow.

Start networking people to help you reach your goals but most importantly help them reach theirs! Helping others is crucial to having them help you later.

When your done designing your life your movie is ready to play, only to play it you just have to act the part, get into character then fake it till you make it. Once you are playing the part of your future dreams, the world will fall in behind and around you to nurture you. Taking "action" is the most important step. If a movie was made in its entirety but nobody yelled action, the film never rolled, then we wouldnt have a film would we?

Food for thought, Wrapped in a metaphor. (This was going to be a much more elaborate hub but time isn't on my side these days so I hope this is long enough.. everyone wants a short hub anyway right?)
