Jim Carrey’s $10 Million Check: A Masterclass in Manifesting Abundance
Spiritual Practices to Keep Money Moving in Your Life
There’s a famous story the floats around the internet about how Jim Carrey visualized his way to stardom and got rich by carrying a $10million dollar check (he wrote out himself) in his wallet for years.
He told Oprah: “I wrote myself a cheque for $10 million for ‘acting services rendered’ and I gave myself 5 years … or 3 years maybe. I dated it Thanksgiving 1995 and I put it in my wallet and I kept it there and it deteriorated and deteriorated. But then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out that I was going to make $10 million on Dumb and Dumber.”
He adds later in the conversation that the key to his success was not just about the belief in himself and the visualizing of wealth and fame, but the diligent and consistent hard work he did to get there. He said, “Well, yeah. That’s the thing, you can’t just visualise and then, you know, go eat a sandwich.”
In order to reach the level of abundance you desire, several factors come into play.
you have to really believe it is possible - this is where most people fall short
you have to do the work and set up the potential possibilities to achieve that kind of abundance, make space for it in your life - sometimes working too hard prohibits you from having the space in your life to actually receive the abundance
you have to be open and receive the opportunities when they present themselves to you (Jim Carrey wouldn’t have that $10million dollar Dumb and Dumber check if he didn’t accept the role because he didn’t think he was good enough
you have to have a healthy relationship with money, and its comings and goings, without hoarding it or over-spending it, because abundance, at its root is about flow.
Ultimately, abundance is not about money, but about a state of being in flow. Just like energy, Abundance is neither created nor destroyed, it is always in flow. If you block that flow or get in the way of the flow, your disturb your ability to receive.
There are a number of spiritual practices to help establish and maintain a healthy relationship with the flow of abundance. One common one is tithing. Jim Carrey’s was a balance of visualization and his ragged and worn self-written paper check.
It’s not about blindly following some practice like vision boarding and crossing your fingers to hope it actually works, its about personally curating a practice that feels right and real in yourself, and living by it, day in and day out, to make it a part of your every day flow of life.
Jim Carrey’s spiritual practice to establishing and maintaining a healthy relationship with abundance was about visualizing something (until he actually felt it) and carrying around a $10million dollar check until he actually got it.
