You can be anything you want in life. And to make it come true, first, make it true in your mind.
Shared reality
How is a story made? A story is first conceived in the mind, but to be believable, the story must be shared. I’ll use an example to illustrate. Money is a story. Money has value because a lot of people believe it’s story. Once an idea has a group to back it up, then it becomes part of our shared reality.
Affirmations
Make yourself who you want to be. Make it true. Simply tell yourself you have already achieved the thing you want. This Jedi mind trick is called affirmations. Affirmation (to affirm something) is the action of making something true. Tell yourself a story. Once you believe your story, and other people share your belief, story goes from make-believe to true.
Tricking people
I think people get hung up on this idea of truth. Truth can be anything. Truth is subjective. Truth is fluid and always changing. Because if you believe truths to be set, then you have doomed yourself. You will be stuck. But if you believe nothing is true, and you believe truth is just a story, then you might have a chance.
How to write
How do you make yourself into a writer. Well, you need to write. That’s obvious. But more importantly, if you believe you are a writer, and other people believe you are writer, then you are a writer. Say “I am a writer”. And do what writers do. Show up and write. Be disciplined with your writing schedule. And show your work. Often. Over time, you will get better and better. Especially if other people believe it’s better.
Trick yourself
Get what you want in life by tricking yourself. You are more gullible than you realize. Thats a good thing.
