What is Jim Carrey doing now? Paint

De flesta har nog undrat vart Jim Carrey tog vägen. Det visar sig att han håller på och målar nu. Och det ser riktigt intressant ut! Nedanstående citat är från en kort dokumentär (Jim Carrey: I Needed Color) som ligger på Vimeo.
Jag fick upp ögonen för Jim för något år sedan då jag skrev det här på systersiten Levafri.

Från Vimeovideo med Jim Carrey där han målar: https://vimeo.com/226379658

2:00 “I like the independence of it. I love the freedom of it, no one else tells you can or can’t do, most of the time. And there’s a mediums to it. Our past has to be served, it’s like you servicing… there’s a conscious and at the same time you are doing something that someone is going to relate to, hopefully.” – Jim Carrey (lite svårt att höra vad had han säger ibland, kan ha misstolkat)

3:30 “When your heart is in love you’re floating weightless but when you lose that love you have to reenter the atmosphere and it can get pretty rough. You’re just bouncing of one molecule on to the next, ripping through them at such a pace that they just ignite and explode. Until you find another heart that is doing the same thing, has landed and cooled, and then you start to float again.” – Jim Carrey

05:35 “You know the bottom line with all of this whether its performance or it’s art or it’s sculpture is love. We wanna show ourselves and have that be accepted. I love being alive and the art is the evidence of that.” – Jim Carrey

What is a soul sucking enterprise..?

Was listening on a podcast of Mad Fientist where Mr Money Mustache is interviewed, a good show. I think he describes it very well and interesting.

21:10 ”A job is kind of a soul sucking enterprise especially if it’s not the perfect job for you. So all of your creative energy goes into that. So once you quit it, I find anyway and a couple of people in the same situation that your creative energy and your skills kind of come out of the woodwork and then all of a sudden you find yourself doing stuff that you didn’t have time to do before and then you know it takes on a life of its own cause you’re not too worried about the money and then you know, you end up with neat new carries you’d never would have thought of. And just since you and I are both writing blogs now, that’s an example in itself. Like I’d never thought I would be a writer of any sort. I mean I enjoy writing and reading and blablabla, all of a sudden this thing has become super addictive and I love writing and now my blog is maybe even a bigger job than the carpentry was because it kind of taken off in a sense. And the fact that the blog even started making money which I never expected. Yea so a bunch of unexpected and fun stuff happens when you stop working for a living, that’s the real key, makes your life a lot more of an adventure, which I like." – Mr. Money Mustache – Early Retirement, Mad Fientist Podcast, Episode 1”

//Be aware of your spending more than your income and understand where happiness comes from //

26:30 “Make sure you are thinking about your spending even more than your income and you know by understanding what happiness means and helping to decouple the idea of happiness from owning certain things you can really amaze yourself of how fun your life can be because really the whole secret to living a rich life is not feeling like you need more than you already have. Otherwise your are just gonna be always craving more and more until you get to the Gulfstream G50 jet and then you realize, now I have everything but I’m still not happy, crap. And that’s because happiness does not get increased by buying stuff. So learn about happiness, read books about happiness, that’s number 1 advice, cause that will help you spend a lot less, cause all of a sudden it will kill so many of you material desires and then you’ll be so much happier.” – Mr. Money Mustache

//Ride a bike principle //

27:45 “My golden rule is that everybody has to ride a bike, which is almost a little related to the happiness thing because like, a bike is like this distilled essence of life where you know you get where you wanna go, you get fitness, you get socialization, nature, you get badassity in the sense you get tougher. And you’re forced to deal with nature. A bike is like a micro cosmos of leading a good life and it also saves you a ton of money so. Basically if you lead a life and you are an able body person and you’re not riding a bike, there’s something wrong in your life and you got to fix that. And you know, that’s kind of like funny because it sound so shallow but it’s actually pretty deep. Basically if you can get to enjoy leading riding a bike all the time then you’re probably on the right path to leading a happy and financial independent life.” – Mr. Money Mustache

Proven success principles that you work on every day..

Hi! Just saw a video of Brian Tracy. I think he's really good at boiling it down to what matters. To make things simple but not too simple. Down below are some quotes from the video.

Swedish: Om man verkligen vill att någon teknik eller metod ska fungera för en måste man arbeta på dem dagligen..
//Om självförtroende, att acceptera ansvar, att arbeta med sig själv och lära sig de saker som du behöver veta för att bli bättre. Sätta mål med tidsbegränsning och att dagligen arbeta med med metoder och principer som vi i grunden tror på. //


Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)


How to rid yourself of limits and accomplish more. (with Brian Tracy)

”Your level of self-confidence is probably the critical factor in everything you accomplish. When you have enough self-confidence you’ll try almost anything. Because success is largely a matter of averages or probabilities, the more things you try the more likely there is that you will achieve greatly. They same is true for you, by setting goals, trying new things, engaging in more activities and exploring more opportunities your probabilities of success increase dramatically. The only real limiting step that you might have is your level of self-confidence. When you reach the point that you believe in yourself absolutely, the barriers in your external world will not stop you. The major obstacles to success always lie within the mind of the individual. They are not contained in external circumstances, or situations or people. By building self-confidence you win the inner battle. The outer battle seems to care of itself.” – Brian Tracy 

"I’ve learned 3 important ideas for building self confidence.
First, accept complete responsibility for yourself and for everything that you are and ever will be.
Second, accept that you can change your situation only by going to work on yourself and learning the things that you need know in order to be better.
Third, setting goals with timelines for the things that you want and then working on them everyday to bring those goals into reality build your self-confidence.
Our actual tendencies to work hard until we find a method or technique that works for us whether in life or relationships and then some prefers for reasons we probably abandon the technique the method that works and we go back to behaving in our old way. In a random and haphazard manner. 

If you expect it to really work for you then you have to practice it persistently, every day. And keep at it indefinitely.” – Brian Tracy 

“When I began to apply this proven success principles to my life and worked on them every day I was able to bring on almost miracles changes in every area of my life and far faster than I thought possible.” – Brian Tracy

“Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Ayn Rand has a fascinating mind

Ayn Rand has a fascinating mind that I do respect.

Ayn Rand Quotes to ponder for our minds. :-)

“What is morality, or ethics? It is a code of values to guide man’s choices and actions—the choices and actions that determine the purpose and the course of his life. Ethics, as a science, deals with discovering and defining such a code.
The first question that has to be answered, as a precondition of any attempt to define, to judge or to accept any specific system of ethics, is: Why does man need a code of values?
Let me stress this. The first question is not: What particular code of values should man accept? The first question is: Does man need values at all—and why?” - Ayn Rand

“The power of morality is the greatest of all intellectual powers—and mankind’s tragedy lies in the fact that the vicious moral code men have accepted destroys them by means of the best within them.” - Ayn Rand

"The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live." - Ayn Rand

"The government was set to protect man from criminals
-
And the Constitution was written to protect man from the goverment.” – Ayn Rand


Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.  Ayn Rand,
”A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort ... is not strictly speaking a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang violence.” – Ayn Rand

“The government was set to protect man from criminals
