"If you can see it and believe it, it is a lot easier to achieve it."

"I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together."  
-Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey Show, 1997



This story is super powerful and motivational to me, as not only am I huge Jim Carrey fan, but I'm also a true believer in using visualization to reach goals. Check out Jim telling his story on Oprah. Inspirational, right? Have you written down your goals? If not, are you inspired to now?


What Oprah Learned from Jim Carrey
Every person around you is a teacher—even comedian and actor Jim Carrey. Look back at a past Oprah Show interview with Jim where he describes how visualization led to great success. Plus, find out how a $10 million check he wrote to himself eventually paid off.


Thank you for reading, I hope you're motivated to put your plans down on paper and start getting serious about achieving your life goals! :)

    It's amazing you wrote about this today. Not only have I been writing the last two days, but I keep "seeing" these pictures in my head - they're the same thing - ALWAYS! I need to put these thoughts into action. Picking the paper & pen up is definitely the first thing, making it come alive is a whole other ball game!!! With your artistic abilities, I think you could help me. I know you're a busy woman, however, I believe this is something you would relate to or understand the concept I'm trying to convey. We'll talk about this, again, and w/ the grace of creativity, we'll come up w/ something! Thank you for your motivation, ideas, and for just being you! Love You!
