day38: ask the universe ...

"So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it. I’m saying, I’m the proof that you can ask the universe for it. ...  As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and working toward it while letting go of how it might come to pass." Jim Carrey

There is a lot of wisdom in Jim Carrey's word from his commencement address to Maharishi University of Management's class of 2014, so take a moment to watch this video.

  I wanted to highlight this quote because the idea of "fear disguised as practicality". 

Many, many people hide behind the excuse that they need to be  practical, responsible, mature instead of following their dreams.

These people can be quite critical and bitter to those who do follow their hearts, so beware.

Of course there are times and places to be more practical, like when other people are depending on you.  But when you are young, when you are a student, you have the freedom to be fearless and impractical ... so do it!! Ask the universe for what you REALLY want!!!

Choose love over fear ~ Embrace your playful heart!

“You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world, and as you walk through those doors today, you will only have two choices: love or fear. 

Choose love, and don’t ever let fear 

turn you against your playful heart." 

Jim Carrey

This May Jim Carrey gave quite an inspirational commencement speech, peppered of course with classic Carrey humor, at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.  

This week I stumbled upon this video montage (below) using sections of the speech and I was exhilarated by Carrey's thoughts and declarations.  

 Click here for the entire speech (transcript and video). 

I didn't know that Jim Carrey practiced Transcendental Meditation, but he does, as well as all the students of MUM.  I am buoyed to hear of an educational institution which has embraced and practices a form of meditation.  

In this day and age I believe this centering and quieting practice is extremely important, and one that I am weaving into my daily life.

"Your need for acceptance 

can make you invisible 

in this world. 

Risk being seen in 

all of your glory"
