Write the Dialogue

The fine motor skill of writing contains a magic that humanity has held on to since ancient times.

Quick Story

Ever write a to-do list for the weekend? Did you actually follow through with it? Our lives can become so routine that we don’t even need a list—we already know what’s going to happen because it’s the same thing that always happens. What a life, right?

When I was studying English literature, my professors drilled into me just how much words matter. Words shape our thoughts, our memories, and even our reality. And because we want our ideas to last beyond fleeting conversations, we write.

Years ago, I noticed something strange about the lists I wrote—they had a way of coming to life. I’d jot down things like “repair the pathway,” “change the floors,” “paint the living room.” Nothing extraordinary. But then I’d lose the list, only to find it months or even years later and realize I had completed most of the items. How is that even possible?

I believe writing sends a deeply embedded message to our subconscious, keeping us on the path to manifestation—unless, of course, we write an opposing list. This realization didn’t come overnight; it took years. But looking back, I can see it so clearly. I wrote about wanting a home surrounded by trees, and here I am, living in one. I wrote about a school, and one was given to me.

Of course, I’m still working on removing the doubts that interfere with my bigger ideas. Take the school, for example. When it was first offered to me, I turned it down. Not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t think it was possible—even though I had already written a detailed vision for a school! It was as if my own words had paved the way, yet doubt nearly kept me from walking the path.

But my writing isn’t just about things I want to achieve. I also write blessings on paper for my family and friends.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with something new: writing dialogue. It’s different from making a list—it’s like scripting life in real time. Writing conversations in the present tense makes them feel real, as if they’re already unfolding. My own dialogues are deeply personal, the kind of thing I’d only share over tea with a trusted friend.

But I can share one lighthearted example! I once wrote that I wanted a certain high-ranking figure in education to tell me I was doing a wonderful job. And guess what? It happened.

Here’s what I will say: Use your powers for good. If you can imagine it, think of yourself as a playwright or scriptwriter. How do you want the scenes of your life to play out? What’s the central conflict, and how will you overcome it? Remember, in a play or movie, narration is minimal—it’s the conversations that drive the story.

So, what story are you writing?

It's Not Quite Scientific, But it is Researched...

Writing down your goals can make it 42% more likely that you will achieve them. This is because writing helps bring clarity to your desires and strengthens your intentions. When you put your goals on paper, they become more real, and your focus sharpens. One way to do this is through journaling, which helps you explore your thoughts and better understand what you truly want. Writing as if your goals have already happened—using phrases like “I am” instead of “I want”—can also make your intentions more powerful.

Affirmations and mantras are also powerful tools for shaping your mindset. Positive statements, repeated daily, can help shift your beliefs and increase confidence. Using present-tense language, adding emotions, and being consistent with affirmations strengthen their impact. Along with affirmations, gratitude plays a big role in manifestation. Expressing thanks for what you already have—and for the things you want as if they are already yours—can attract more positive experiences into your life.

It’s important to recognize and release any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. These negative thoughts can stop you from achieving your goals. By identifying and replacing them with positive affirmations, you can shift your mindset and open yourself up to new possibilities. Manifestation through writing is a powerful way to bring your dreams to life, but it requires belief, focus, and consistent effort.

Quotes and Interpretations

Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or the deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men’s actions. Sigmund Freud

The power of words will allow you to create your reality.

Intend when you write to create the world you envision.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. Rumi

We can live by the words we express.

Words, in every form, impact our lives. The words in a book, spoken in a movie, poetry, even in jokes, shape how we live our daily lives.

Our thoughts are not contained in our heads. They are entangled with others and with our world. Write down your best-case scenario thoughts for every day; the best things you think can happen each day.

If you have a friend who could use this message, would you share?
