3 YEARS Scripting My 'BIGGEST' Desires… Here's What Happened

Summary

Athena Raven describes rereading a notebook in which she had written about desired outcomes involving money, family health, disputes, business, and relationships. She says many later came true, sometimes quickly and by unexpected routes. She presents scripting as an optional way to clarify an outcome—not as a requirement—and says she usually prefers relaxed “passive imagination” during everyday activities.

Her central point is to focus on the life or state you ultimately want, rather than scripting every step you think must happen. She cautions that getting an intermediate event—such as a message or a pleasant holiday together—may not fulfill a deeper goal, such as a committed relationship.

Three-Step Scripting Method

1. Producer — clarify the destination

   • Write what you truly want, why it matters, and how you would know it had happened.
   • Check whether your stated goal is only a stepping stone to a deeper desire.
   • Choose the end result, but don’t decide in advance exactly how it must unfold.

2. Author — write a short “end scene”

   • Write a few sentences or a brief paragraph about an ordinary moment in the life where the desire is already fulfilled.
   • Use details that feel natural to you, such as sensory impressions or an imagined conversation.
   • Write from within the experience, rather than describing something you hope to get.

3. Director and actor — review and inhabit it

   • Reread the scene from the perspective of the person already living that experience.
   • Participate in the imagined moment rather than watching it from the sidelines.
   • Check that the scene implies the actual end result, and revise it simply if it only describes an intermediate step.
   • Don’t force intense emotion; Raven emphasizes a sense of naturalness.

Other Advice and Techniques

• If the outcome brings up resistance, ask: “What do I think needs to change before I can accept this as my reality?” Explore the assumptions behind any objection, where they came from, and what evidence supports them.
• Raven also describes passive imagination: briefly imagining a desired experience while relaxed during routine activities, such as showering or washing dishes.
• Keep the exercise simple. She says a few lines, or even writing once, may be enough; repeated scripting and elaborate routines are not necessary.
• Don’t use the notebook to repeatedly soothe doubt or monitor whether circumstances have changed. She warns that this can turn the exercise into anxiety management rather than engaging with the underlying assumptions.
• Avoid scripting the entire “path” to the outcome. Circumstances may unfold differently than expected, and she advises against treating delays or another person’s faster result as proof of failure.
• She recommends a weekly reflection prompt—“I am successful because…”—to notice successes already present rather than waiting for a future outcome to feel successful.
• She also notes that writing goals can help organize thoughts and break overwhelming aims into practical steps, while distinguishing that from imagining an outcome as already achieved.
