The script is a life plan, made when we
are growing up. It is like having the script of a play in front of us - we
read the lines and decide what will happen in each act and how the play
will end.
The script is developed from our early decisions based upon our
life experience. We may not realise that we have set ourselves a plan but
we can often find this out if we ask ourselves what our favorite childhood
story was, who was our favorite character in the story and who we
identify with. Then consider the beginning, middle and end of the story.
How is this story reflected in our life today?
Another way of getting to
what script is may be to think about what we believe will happen when we
are in old age. Do we believe we will be alive at 80 or 90 years old, be
healthy, happy, and contented?
What do we think will be on the headstone
for our grave? What would we like to be on it?
