The Crazy Wisdom of Jim Carrey

“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.” – Jim Carrey

Happy Friday 🙂

Just one recommendation for you this weekend:

Jim & Andy

I watched this documentary on Netflix a few days ago, and it’s fascinating.

Not only on a “holy-sh*t-look-at-crazy-Jim-Carrey” level…

(seeing him method act is surreal — he may look crazy, but his commitment to the craft is unmatched)

…But also on a “guy-accidentally-dissolves-his-ego-and-enlightens-himself” level.

I’ve collected a bit of his crazy wisdom for you in the PS below.

Enjoy, and hit me back if you check out the doc.

P.S. From Jim:

***

“You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”

“Behind every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes.”

“As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.”

“My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.”

“True religion has, at its core: Love, Peace, Mercy, Justice and Freedom. If any of these elements is not fully present in a religion, the religion has been compromised.”

“Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.”

“I used to be a guy who was experiencing the Universe, but now I feel like the Universe experiencing a guy.
