A Verdade Oculta por Trás do Sucesso: Lições Impactantes de Jim Carrey

the funniest man on Earth an individual of enormous compassion who is doing so much to make our world a better place the great Jim [Applause] Carry I’m here to plant a seed today a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic hearts and a clear sense of [Music] wholeness I’ve often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame and so that they could see that it’s not where you’re going to find your sense of completion I I believe that I had to become a famous you know idea yeah uh and get all the stuff that people dream about and uh and uh accomplish a bunch of uh a bunch of things that uh you know that that look like success in order to give up my attachment to those things it’s been a part of the evolution of ego is is to uh spend your first half of your life acquiring and adding think you can add to yourself and and it looks great I mean it looks great when you got a cool car and you got nice clothes and you know and you’re uh and you’ve done something that people admire but it can never fulfill you you can never be happy you know what I mean it’s not it’s not where happiness comes from no matter what you gain ego will not let you rest it will tell you that you cannot stop until you’ve left an indelible mark on the earth until you’ve achieved immortality how tricky is this ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something we already [Music] possess I am at the top of the mountain and I was and I the only the only one I hadn’t freed was myself and that’s when my search for identity deepened I wondered who I’d be without my fame who would I be if I said things that people didn’t want to hear if I defied their expectations of me people create your life they take elements that are true and they put it in an article so the article looks looks legit and yet there’s so much of the article that isn’t true so that’s something to kind of teach you that hey you know what in order to go forward I have to let go of what this creation is and I ultimately found that even the me I created wasn’t real so uh that left me in an odd precarious situation and I’ve been writing and creating about that for a very long time many of the things I do are have to do with the disappointment of creating a a winning personality in the world and then eventually you know for your own sanity and freedom letting it go when you go away a little bit sometimes you learn a new stroke you know it’s like you cut you Lop your right arm off to to learn how to write with your left and then you sew the right arm back on when you’ve learned and then you go hey check it out you know and then you can come back still you can do the old stuff but the new stuff is there too I’m fascinated by what creates characters you know what what what defines people what what creates them what puts them together everybody’s Frankenstein and they just like as as life goes on you either you either lose pieces of yourself gain other pieces and just that’s the fascinating thing about acting every uh trauma and I could you know build a ladder to the stars with the things that have happened or the things that I’ve had to endure but they’ve all turned into something really creative the worst injury I’ve ever had I went to the art studio and I made a painting you know and I sat there and I went I wish people could be here to see what that process is what happens to an artist when they get hurt you know they don’t try to lash out most of the time they try to turn it into a bouquet of flowers that’s what I want to do it dropped the whole trying to be something for somebody a long time ago so I I I pretty much walk through the world except when I want to be funny or I want to do something outrageous you know kind of T tip the boat you know I don’t have any trouble being myself and I don’t have any trouble saying no when I mean no when uh I don’t feel there is a you know pressing uh responsibility to please everyone I’m not unkind to people I love people I would much prefer saying hello and who are you and what are you doing today than giving a selfie because selfies stop the world you know they stop life you then go like that and it’s going on Instagram uh to give people a false sense of relevance I’ve only ever been disappointed when I wasn’t authentic when I had reached for something that was uh not based in some authenticity what’s happening right now inside everybody is they’re going who am I and they’re depressed you know a lot of people because they’re trying to hold up an image in the world and that’s what depression is you know people go like oh Jim’s been depressed and stuff well yeah I was depressed when I was trying to uh be The Wizard of Oz instead of the sweaty guy behind the curtain uh but now I know that Oz is a character you know and uh and you know I think everybody deals with that everybody walks around and they go like why am I depressed well it’s because you’re trying to be something for the world you know and as soon as you you let that go better things happen because they’re just happening but it’s not uh you know now it’s just sadness you know sadness comes happiness comes it’s the weather that flies by in the sky it doesn’t sit on you long enough to drown you the happy place is realizing that you’re everything you know and that there’s no real you involved in the first place I don’t exist so uh they’re all characters that I played including Jim Carrey including Joel beish including any of those things they’re all characters you know they Jim Cary was a less intentional character right because I thought I was just building something that people would like but it was a character you know so it’s uh you know I played the guy that was free from concern so that people who watched me would be free from concern you know and uh and then at a certain point you go like okay well that’s great but you know it’s like the one thing I like people talk about depression all the time the difference between depression and sadness is sadness is just you know from happen stance whatever happened or didn’t happen for you or you know grief or whatever it is and depression is your body saying [ __ ] you I don’t want to be this character anymore MH I don’t want to hold up this this Avatar that you’ve created in the world is too much for me you should think of the word is of dep as sorry of depressed as deep rest deep rest your body needs to be depressed it needs deep rest from the character that you’ve been trying to play right you know and you know I dealt with depression you know a few years ago and people still think oh he’s going through you can tell he’s depressed and it’s not I have no depression in my life whatsoever literally none I I uh I have sadness and joy and Elation and satisfaction and gratitude beyond belief but all of it is weather and it just spins around the planet you know it’s not it doesn’t sit on me long enough to kill me you know people chalk it up to depression and all that stuff I think that you know grief and sadness and all those things are are are the the ticket home uh to nothing I think that that was a part of the process there’s been several other Awakenings and and and yet still I I have a lot of egoic attachments that that uh that pull my attention and focus I know that this face pleases you you know but now I’m going to show you the real deal uh there was a voice telling me that if I actually didn’t score if I didn’t hit a funny line every at least 30 seconds they would think I was pompous and they would they would turn against me and say who the [ __ ] do you think you are and at a certain point I I realized hey wait a second you know if it’s so easy to lose Jim Carrey who the hell is Jim car where I was kind of watching from another place and there’s been a series of kind of Awakenings I’ve had in my life I woke up and I suddenly got it I understood suddenly how thought was just an ucer thing uh and how thought is responsible for if not all most of the suffering we [Music] experience and then I suddenly felt like I was looking at these thoughts from another perspective and I wondered who is it that’s aware that I’m thinking and suddenly I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom from myself from my problems I saw that I was bigger than what I do I was bigger than my body I was everything and everyone I was no longer a fragment of the Universe I was the universe now I’m always at the beginning I have a reset button and I ride that button constantly once that button is functioning in your life there’s no story that the mind could create that will be as compelling the imagination is always manufacturing scenarios both good and bad and the ego tries to keep you trapped in the multiplex of the mind I just want you to relax relax and dream up a good life [Music] my father could have been a great comedian but he didn’t believe that that was possible for him and so he made a conservative Choice instead he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old he was let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we could to survive I learned many great lessons from my father not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love fear is going to be a player in your life but you get to decide how much you can spend your whole life imagining ghosts worrying about the pathway to the future but all there will ever be is what’s happening here and the decisions we make In This Moment which are based in either love or fear Choose Love and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart because everything you gain in life will rot and fall part and all that would be left of you is what was in your [Music] heart that piece that we’re after lies somewhere beyond personality beyond the perception of others Beyond invention and disguise even Beyond effort itself you can join the game fight the wars play with form all you want but to find real peace you have to let the armor go your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form risk being seen in all of your glory the town is back that way Mama I had dinner with my friend Nick Cage and uh in the middle of dinner he said the [ __ ] is going on with you man I went what do you mean and he went your eyes are different something going on with you your eyes are different you know and it was already happening
