Jim Carrey went from broke, unknown ...

The first time I ever heard of Jim Carrey, he was on the sketch comedy show "In Living Color." Shortly thereafter, was his movie Ace Ventura and then his career-launching film, "Dumb and Dumber."

To be honest, since all I saw was the "dumb" stuff he was doing, I thought that was all that Jim was made of.

Sure, he later went on to do a few more serious films like "The Truman Show" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

Still, I saw those as being the exceptions to the rule and not really representative of the person I assumed / imagined Jim to be.

How wrong I was...

Did you know that he practiced manifestation back in the mid-1980's before it became known worldwide as the "Law of Attraction?"

Check out this video where he talks publicly about his transition from rags to riches (inner and outer) using visualization and manifestation...

On shows like Oprah, David Letterman, and more...

Just saying the word 'God'

Just saying the word "God" sends some people into a rage and others into profound peace. It causes wars and creates divine unions. People blame God for the bad in their lives while praising God for the gifts.

I find it amazing how one word can have such different meanings to so many people. There are as many meanings for the word "God" as there are people on the planet.

To some, God is personified - an all-knowing sentient being who consciously and intentionally creates situations.

(whether it's pleasure or suffering, peace or war, cancer or miracle healings).

To others, God is an omnipresent field of organizing energy which has no conscious awareness, yet all consciousness arises from.

And others don't even acknowledge the concept of "God" in any form.

Regardless of what you may believe about God...

Regardless of what you may have discovered to be personally true about God...

I think it's important to really acknowledge that God means different things to different people.

The thing is, none of this is really about God.

In this write up God is a metaphor for you and every experience you've ever had, are having, and will have.

Because each and every one of them, every thought, every emotion, every story you've ever told yourself means something different to you than it does to anybody else.

And if we can get so riled up about a three-letter word such as "God," consider how much more we get riled up each and every day with entire sentences...

P.S. Only by acknowledging how you fundamentally view the world differently from others can you develop the awareness to have compassion for those who are different from you.

P.P.S. And by "those who are different from you," I mean everybody you ever come into contact with. :)

You get what you give

If you've ever doubted what difference you can really make in this world...

Then please watch this short, 5-minute movie that beautifully captures how the small things we do in our everyday lives can make a big difference.

Go on - inspire yourself with this vibrant message that reminds us...

If you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own!

 

Dream

I don’t know what that dream is you have. I don’t care how disappointing it might have been as you’ve been working toward that dream. But that dream that you’re holding in your mind… it’s possible.

Some of you already know that it’s hard… it’s not easy. But in the process of working on your dreams you will grow stronger. 

 

One Choice

One...
One tree can start a forest,
One smile can begin a friendship,
One hand can lift a soul,
One word can frame the goal,
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh can conquer gloom,
One hope can raise our spirits,

And...one choice can change your life.

Think about that. One choice, just one, can change your life forever. Simply put, your life today is what your choices have made it, but with new choices, you can change directions this very moment. 

Finding Joy Movie

If you ever need a gentle reminder to remember what's most important in life... watch this beautiful 3-minute movie. I've watched it over 30 times and every time...I find joy!

Best video I've seen all year

And that's saying a lot because...

Right around this time of year, I always share it again. And every time that happens, everybody loves it!

Even people like me who have seen it several times and still enjoy it.

In fact, it is the most-forwarded video I've ever shared with you. :)

I remember the first time I watched Change for a Dollar...

I was only a minute into the movie and I couldn't stop watching.

I kept waiting to see what would happen next. And then next. And then after that. Then it was over.

And now I pass it on to you... :)

Is he asking for Change, or is he asking for CHANGE?
