Best Motivational True Story | Think Big | Jim Carrey
He was born in Canada in the '60s. His mother was sick, so he used to spent a lot of time with her. Trying to make his mother laugh, trying to make her happy. While, his father working as an accountant, working in a safe job to support the family.
His father wanted to be a musician, but had given up his dream as and thought it was not practical. Everything was going fine, until one day his father lost his job. His father several time tried getting a new job but was not able to find any. But he was do motivate to himself
Months passed by, they got homeless, lived in a van. He was only just 15 then, he started working in a steel factory. to support his family. His whole future was in front of him, he thought he will become a mill worker. Now other dreams were allowed.
But at that time, seeing his father struggle, he learned his life's most valuable lesson. His father had given up his dream, gone for a safer option, and still failed. If I failure and success are not certain in anything you do. Why not take a chance and do something difference that you love doing. Even if I fail, at least you will be doing what you love.
He realized, he loves making people laugh, and he wants to do what for the rest of his life. He wants to become an Actor and a Stand-up comic. So when he turned 16, his father took him to his first Stand-up performance. But that first performance was a big failure, no one laughed. He got disappointed, he doubted himself.
But he knew, he was doing something he loved, he just has to work harder. So he practiced more, tried harder. And soon his performance improved, next time he got a standing ovation. As time passed by he kept on dreaming big, he wanted to be an Actor.
So he moved to America, to follow his dream. Months passed, he gave few auditions but not got work. Still, he was hopeful. Every night he used to look at the Hollywood sign and imagine. Director approaching him, singing him for a movie, fans surrounding him for an autograph. At that time he had nothing else, just his thoughts and dreams.
He kept on thinking that success was around the corner. One day he wrote a post-dated cheque to himself for $10 million. He dated it 5 years later, and promised to himself he will earn this money before that date. He believed he is asking the universe what he wants.
And sometime later the universe did give him, what he desired. Soon he became an actor. And a few years later he received $10 million pay for acting in a movie. That movie was worldwide hit Dumb and Dumber. And that little boy from Canada is now one of the most successful actors in the world "Jim Carrey".
Jim Carrey just an ordinary kid, who could have probably become a factory worker. But he thought big, he dreamt of becoming successful and work hard to achieve it. It can also happen to us. We just get scared to think big.
Our mind says it's not practical, and we doubt ourselves, our abilities. We think we can not achieve what others have. Why not for today, let's keep that practical mind aside. Let's think big for today. So you can write your desire for what you want to achieve in your life. Don't worry about what people will think? How it will sound? Will it sound stupid?
Just write something you desire and just commit to your self that you are going to work hard to achieve it. Let that comment be a reminder to us and our message to the universe. So let's THINK BIG, work hard. And make our dreams, Come True.
