Imagination is
not the escape of the mind but the plan of your future. All the big changes
come with a visual image in the head, way before it is apparent to others. The
story of Jim Carrey is one of the best real-life examples of how imagination,
faith and persistence can determine fate. Through his trip, we learn that in
the case that you place the belief and the vision in harmony, the universe
reacts in a way that you could not anticipate but could most certainly count
on.
The Power of
Robert and Receiving
Early life did
not require Jim Carrey to live a glamorous life. He was brought up in an
impoverished family, had to live in a van and had encountered some difficult
times that not many children can go through. However, in his darkest times he
found something life-changing: the power to ask, believe, and receive.
Such an
ordinary childhood experience as praying to get a bike made him understand the
workings of imagination. He pictured it, trusted in it and got it in a manner
he could have never imagined. This miracle at an early age grew the seed of the
mighty manifestation tales, which were to be the main theme of his whole future.
Lesson of
Childhood That Altered everything
Jim attempted
it as soon as his Irish teacher told him that God will always respond to a
request that is accompanied by faith and purpose.
He imagined a
bike. He saw it vividly. He felt the joy of owning it. Two weeks after this, he
approached his house and discovered that very bike—won in a drawing that he
had not even participated in. It wasn’t luck. It was the power of belief. It
was imagination in the act of creation.
The Fights
that Made the Dream
In spite of the
initial success with manifestation, the life of Jim was hard. He dropped comedy
performance, was rejected, and lived the life of struggling actors and he was wondering about the path at one time.
Never, however,
did he cease to visualize what he wanted. He had faith in his inner world
rather than in the outer world. And that was all the difference.
The
Mulholland Drive Ritual
Jim Carrey
would drive up Mulholland Drive at night four consecutive years after doing comedy clubs.
It was there he
sat in silence, looking over the lights of Los Angeles, and dreamed his future
with complete confidence.
• “I am a popular actor.”
• Directors would like to collaborate
with me.
• Opportunities are pouring in my
direction.
He threw open
his arms and embraced the future, which he already felt was his. He didn’t hope.
He knew. He had experienced it, and breathed it, and brought it down the
mountain with him every night.
The $10
Million Check
It is one of
the best-known stories of manifestations in the history of the world when Jim
wrote a check to himself in the amount of 10 million dollars for acting
services rendered dated to Thanksgiving 1995.
Years later, he
had it in his wallet. By the time Thanksgiving 1995 came, he had brokered a
deal on The Mask—at precisely $10 million.
This was no
coincidence. And this was fantasy coming true. Nothing starts without a
thought. Jim’s story teaches one thing: what you think, you become. What you
picture, you attract. What you believe, you live. Whatever you constantly
visualize makes every moment of your life. The future lies in imagination and
belief is what gives the former its shape.
Two Types of
People. The world is composed of two types of thinkers:
1. The
Doubters
They are
concerned with fear, lack, doubt and negativity. They envision all the things
that go wrong. And it is precisely what they are manifesting.
2. The
Believers
They daydream
about the desired life. They envision themselves obtaining it. They behave in
accordance with such an image of oneself. And reality finally becomes in line
with their vision. Decide which one you would prefer to be. Trust first, accept second. No more questions; when will it happen? Begin to say, It is mine
already.
Manifestation
requires:
• Imagining deeply
• Sensing the future before it comes.
• Pretending to be already a reality.
• Remaining emotionally on track with
your desire.
Once your faith
coincides with the vibration of your desire, life takes the direction of that
direction with ease.
You Can
Manifest Anything
You cannot
attract too much or too little in your life.
It is the same
when it comes to wealth, love, success, healing, and opportunity:
1. See it in your mind.
2. Feel it in your body.
3. Believe it is yours.
4. Act in alignment with it.
The universe
will rearrange itself according to the picture you have in your mind.
Your identity
is your imagination.
The thoughts
you repeat…
The pictures
you create…
The future you
visualize…
That becomes
your life.
You are the
creator. The paintbrush is your imagination. Your life is the canvas.
Conclusion
The story of
Jim Carrey is not just a simple piece of inspiration, but it is also evidence
that fantasy constitutes the future. Whatever you visualize comes to pass.
Whatever you think comes to pass.
Any future you
will be is created in your mind. So imagine boldly. Believe deeply. And stride
carelessly through the life you already know of. It is not a fantasy of your
imagination, but a prophecy.
