Jim Carrey’s Commencement Speech

This post is a bit different than the normal Hump/spiration, these are words about love, fear and life–not the normal Wednesday eyecandy. Jim’s speech really resonates with my heart and my current state of pursuing life. I think everyone can take inspiration from this video. I encourage you to watch the entire commencement speech, however, those of you pressed for time can scroll to the bottom and watch a shortened version.

“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 your 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.

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.” –Jim Carrey
