The Law of Emergence

Well I'm back...at least for now. When I started this blog, I did it primarily to start expressing my thoughts and ideas instead of waiting for the 'professional opportunities' to do it (like getting hired to write a script or selling my books, etc.).

And then before I could even get going...I started getting hired to write scripts and sold books!

And I got too busy to write the blog.

Many scripts and two books later ("There's No Business Like Soul Business" and "I Could've Written a Better Movie than that!"), I'm endeavoring to jump back into the blogosphere (as well as social networks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkeIn, and Plaxo, so please come join me there!)But it has made me realize a very important principle that has been at work...

I call it The Law of Emergence (incidentally, that's the title of my next book). And the basic idea is that we are already whole and complete; we already have everything we could ever need embodied within our consciousness -- just as the oak is already in the acorn -- but we must create the right conditions for this potential to emerge.

The acorn doesn't have to struggle and strive to become an oak. It already is. And when the conditions are right, the oak emerges.

Likewise, we don't have to struggle and strive to 'become somebody' or 'achieve our dreams'. We're already it. We just have to create the right inner and outer conditions (mostly inner), and the great destiny for which we were born begins to emerge organically.

When I decided to just express myself and 'act as if I was already the thing I wanted to become', I begin to create the inner conditions of inspiration, joy, and fulfillment -- three key qualities that must be cultivated for our emergence -- and within a relatively short time, the things I had been struggling to achieve began to emerge in my life.

So I encourage you to look around and ask yourself, "What am I putting on hold until the conditions 'out there' are right?" And then find a way, any way, to do that thing, express that quality, and be that person...NOW. Every day.

More on this later.

Until then, have an inspired and productive day!

Peace & Blessings,

Derek

The Wealthy Writer

Hi, folks! Sorry it's taken me so long to start this blog. I have been living what I teach -- writing for a living! I currently have several screenplay projects in development, a book due out this fall, and another one due out early next year. In addition, I'm about to launch a site created for screenwriters and script consultants, www.scriptwritercentral.com -- check it out. And sign up for the free e-courses and audio series, the 7 power principles to explode your screenwriting career.

Even if you're not a screenwriter, the principles will help you get focused, create a clear writing plan, and begin moving toward it's fulfillment.

And that's the idea I want to leave with you today...If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. If you haven't already done so, take some time today to begin clarifying what you want to achieve as a writer over the next 1, 5, 10 years. And WHY you want to achieve it. Hint: making lots of money is not enough. And it's not really true. If you look deeper, you'll discover that you're never really doing anything just for money. It's what the money can buy you that really motivates you.

On another level, if the only reason you're doing something is for the money and what the money can buy you, I would suggest reevaluating what you're doing. I believe we all come here for a specific purpose, to give our unique gifts, talents, and abilities -- to add real value to people's lives. The most powerful WHY you can have is one that motivates you beyond merely your own personal gain. When you attach your goal not only to personal gain, but to how it can benefit others, you create a powerful fuel to propel you forward.

For a more in-depth discussion on this topic, please sign up for the free audio course, The 7 Power Principles in The Write System, at www.scriptwritercentral.com.

Until next time...keep writing!

Patience Please

Just wanted to let you folks know that I am, indeed, planning on actually using this blog. Remember, Infinite Patience equals Instant Results. Peace.
