The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency that you have.

Lessons From Jim Carrey’s Journey of Life shared in his inspiring speech at

“There is no reality except the one contained within us…” ~Hermann Hesse

Fear is going to be a player in your life and we determine how much we are going to let us be effected by it.  It is fear that keeps us from seeing and being who we really want to be or become.

I know that sitting here as I write this post, I’m a bit fearful of what others might think, sharing this type of video and writing words that might not sit well with people.  But then, I’m relaxed, as my fingers are gliding and hitting the keys on the laptop feeling excited to even have this opportunity to share anything with you.

Freedom is what we want, yet it is that same freedom that we fear.

What if…we could make a million dollars?

What if…we could leave our job?

What if…we could live life on our terms?

What if…………

Maybe you don’t know what you don’t know.  Sounds funny doesn’t it?

There is a reason why we read daily, listen to audio daily, blog daily and be present in what our purpose and intention is.  Freedom to live a lifestyle of your dreams, it takes work, it takes conviction and a decision to never give up.

And yet, what we want spins around into fear, turning our dreams upside down.

Did someone put you down, tell you that what you’re doing isn’t going to work or that you are not smart enough to do that.  It doesn’t matter what others say or think…and yet we know that.

But still we have fear take over the very thing we believe on…. Our dream for freedom.

Now I’m not saying you are not enjoying freedom right now.  In the United States, as Americans, we have all sorts of freedom.  But do we? Really?

Listening to radio programs, watching TV shows or checking the news will only put different things In your mind that don’t even support your true purpose, will confuse you, leave you doubting yourself and becoming fearful of the dream, living life on your terms.

That’s because we have been brought up, set up to live life in a certain way, but not one of personal success, but instead a life of compliancy.

Let this be your day, your moment to tell the universe that you are here for a purpose and that you will not let fear get in your way.  Instead have faith that will strengthen your confidence to push through, prevail so that you never give up.

This video was so inspiring for me today….I’m sharing it with you to lift you up, to let you know that you matter, your dreams matter, your freedom matters….and nothing, nobody should stop you.
