Robin Williams once said, "I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that"... Comedians are deep..

"Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you, all you have is to choose love or fear" .. can't believe I heard that from the funniest man in the world.

" your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world'

I'm 32. Drinking problem . Thousands in debt. Broken relationships. Paycheck to paycheck. I needed this to help me realize I'm not that bad of a person. Sitting here crying hoping things will get better if I keep my chin up and stop living this picture perfect life. I've been in a dark place and have thought some terrible things. Thanks for this

everyone has a purpose for being born but society makes you forget and tricks you into thinking making money is the soul purpose of existence.

we where used to laugh at comedians,and listen to politicans now we listen to comedians and laugh at politicans welcome to the new generation

I'm so grateful for Jim Carrey's existence

“Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you” and “the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is” are so true and powerful

"The effect you have on somebody is the most valuable currency there is." - Jim Carrey

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

"You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love". Wise words.

Jim is reaching for enlightenment and dumb people call him crazy.....

This video just saved my life. Thank You

I watched the affect my father’s love and humor had on the world around me, and I thought, “That’s something to do, that’s something worth my time.”When I was about 28, after a decade as a professional comedian, I realized one night in LA that the purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern, like my dad.I did something that makes people present their best selves to me wherever I go.How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide? That’s all you have to figure out. I can tell you from experience, the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. Because ultimately, we’re not the avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shines through it. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling.that peace that we’re after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others, beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself. You can join the game, fight the wars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall. Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory. I’ve often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion. Like many of you, I was concerned about going out in the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself! Our eyes are not only viewers, but also projectors that are running a second story over the picture we see in front of us all the time. Fear is writing that script and the working title is, ‘I’ll never be enough.’I’m just making a conscious choice to perceive challenges as something beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way. You’ll come up with your own style, that’s part of the fun!life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.you will only ever have two choices: love or fear. Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. relax and dream up a good life! 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

"So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality." 3:47 *crowd reaction and whistles* because of how real and insightful that statement is. Damn. What a speech.

This video gets to me in my guts everytime i watch it. Please Never Ever Delete It. Thank You

Why did KZfaq hide this from me for so long.

I like this guy as a person more than an actor

Life moves by pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around every once in awhile, you might miss it.

The day Jim leaves this world, is the day my childhood will vanish. Love him

I want to give a little perspective to people who are skeptical of this video. There are many people that comment saying this is BS or just some new age nonsense. I can respect your perspective and how subjectively you have come to that conclusion. But here are the facts, I was 19 years old when I did this edit, I was editing for fun and Absolute was in its early stages with not that much of a following. I watched the commencement speech and I was incredibly inspired by it. So by using the power of editing I wanted to create something that would help bring out the emotion even more. I have no intention to sell an ideology or to make you believe something. This is just an edit I did nearly 1 and a half ago for fun. If you take good from it, great, if you don't please leave constructive feedback as to how I can improve in the future. While the majority is positive, I just wanted to address the very few that have issues with the edit. Thanks - nav

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" That quote applies to anyone trying to find out who they are. As for me it really showed how i want to be a motivational speaker. Not only so but one that can save people from becoming something their not. Even if the person is to deep in their mind i would still get them to a different state of mind. I know this is a step you wouldn't expect someone who barely turned 16 to do so, but i'm going to and i believe anyone who has the mind or heart to do so can do it to.

I haven't been giving myself enough credit for just being me. It helps often

"Relax, and dream up a good life". Love it!

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world..." This speech is brilliant....

His words. They take to a place where my mind should be thinking, at most times rational. But always with poignancy, echoing one's inner path and destiny. I suffer from depression and yet this simple web-clip leads me down a positive path and with a certain amount of hope. And that's a good thing, right?

I really needed to hear this right now, i relapsed into drinking alcohol and let my family down again but they still stick by me and i don't deserve them. I'm going through a bad, dark place mentally. This helped quiet my mind and realise whats done is done and i need to move forward, become a better person and spread love instead of hate and fear.

Life doesn't happen to you! It happens for you!! 🙏💯💙

This video made me so emotional, its very hard to watch without feeling like you're being governed by a world that wants you to feel like shit.

Life is not difficult. Their are only difficult people... Make life simple and you will enjoy every moment.. Thank you Jim..

I listen to this video everyday👍, If you're reading this, remember you're THE BEST!!

“You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love.”

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Life changing. Truly.

Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world

I don't know how I came across this video. But I want to thank the universe for this random beautiful message Jim Carry has given.

"Risk being seen in all your glory." That line had me thinking for a good 15 mins.

Jim is awesome, smart, enlightened guy. He is awake and spreading it

"All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. What he was doing."

The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.''

In a way this just saved my life and made me realize that I've only got one life to accomplish everything

Jim has always been someone I resonated with. Even as a child. Now that I am an adult I enjoy the wisdom he brings as well as the laughter. What a gift it is to have his mind and heart a part of our reality.

I've saved this video to watch again. To help me in dark depressing times.

I listen to this each and every morning before I get up. Truly inspiring and self motivating.

Jim Carrey never fails to impress me with his strong words.

Jim Carey is an absolute inspiration one of the best actors ever

0:50 "I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is."

What should I say after listening to this man? He is so terrific. His words are like gems. Beautiful and unique. I just pray that he continues being like this and achieves more and more on his spiritual quest.

“My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul” what a true legend

Society did so much that humanity has almost vanished. It brought so much materialism that people forgot why they came to existence, to be happy, to love, and foremost to help those in need. For me, there's no poor, no middle class, and no rich. Those are just the invisible barriers that became visible over time. It took me a decade to find what I want to do with life, and yes, at times I did felt hopeless thinking whether my decision and perspective, are they even real? Or just an imagination that will never work in this world now? And then it clicked, the world is what and how we make it. I can't change it overnight, just one day at a time and with people like Absolute Motivation and all the commentators, I think we will get to it.

So much more Jim than just a comic. Fascinating person

A GREAT CONCERNED MAN AND COMEDIAN. WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER THE WORLD NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS. JUST LENDING AN EAR TO ONE WHO IS SO DEPRESSED THEY WANT TO GIVE UP ON LIFE.

I always come back to this. Jim has touched the silver lining and hes trying to tell us that we can too ❤

My childhood hero. A living legend.

it seems like nobody understands what Jim Carrey is saying. There was a period of my life when I was meditating up to 4-5 hours a day for a few months. I learned in those months more than I've learnt my entire life. Jim Carrey is talking about our ego, the voice inside your head who is always judging, praising, comparing, analyzing, etc. Whats' wrong with that? well, the ego is not reality, reality has no words. When you eat food, you eat and then you are done. When someone hurts you, you feel pain and then it'd done. Most people are living an illusion, an illusion based on the ego's perception of the world. Jim realized that he though ( the ego) that by becoming SOMEONE, an actor, he would be happy. But as soon as he go there, he realized that happiness doesn't come from those desires to be better or to acquire fame or popularity, happiness comes from love. As long as you are driven by your ego, even if you do the right thing, it cannot be true love b.c it only comes from a perception that is flawed, it comes from fear. "I must love my gf b.c I don't want her to leave me b.c I'm gonna feel alone." Of course, most people don't ever say that to themselves, but if you look deeply within yourself, you will see that most of our love comes from self interest. "I love my best friend b.c he loves me back" Ego driven love is temporary, b.c as soon as your friend stops loving you or he betrays you, you stop loving him. True love comes from within and it's not influenced by our ego. It's pure. And this is all that matters and this is what you should always choose. Most of the world don't choose this, they choose to act out of fear and selfishness. Most of us are not even aware of why we do what we do 99% of the time. We think we are in control of our actions, we are so oblivious to the power of our natural instincts, most of which are not necessary anymore, or at least not to the great extent to which they still control us.

He's not crazy, he's enlightened and completely free.

When jim says " if you want peace, you have to let the armor go." I felt that in my heart, and spirt. The weight of hiding your real self takes a toll. Lose the ego, and grow.

Jim is amazing! Its always surprising to see serious guys inside comedians. 'Yes man' has been a true motivation for me a heck a lot of times.

Please don't stop making videos like this.

“Your need for acceptance makes you invisible in this world” .. Let me tell you that this is the truest thing I’ve ever heard from experience

Am I the only one balling my eyes out? Holy moly.

I think this is an awesome video. The message makes you realize your life and what you should do with it. My life was almost taken from me but here I am. I am still here. I make videos on my channel hoping that people would find inspiration and motivation from my story. This is an awesome video by the way. Good job!

I could watch this every morning with breakfast. WOw

I've been watching his video's for hours, answering questions I ask myself everyday I have been awoken...

To walk a moment in his shoes,to just sit and listen to his thoughts.......that would be an amazing moment for me . Lost broken,happy ,free to just listen and live the moment ....to just smile

The purpose of my life is to free people from concern. I make people present their best selves to me wherever I go. -- beautiful

i never ever thought jim carrey would make me cry

This brought me to tears. Thank you.

This is it. This is the breakthrough I've been having. I feel so fortunate to be discovering this at my age, so I don't waste my time.

Jim Carrey is awesome great speech. Dont be something your not be yourself

Couldn't think of a better video to start 2017

this is one of those things that when you are ready to hear it. you understand it and love it but when your not ready it bores you and you overlook it

I Love You Jim! You for-filled you purpose to so many. I agree that God is with us and within us at all times. I find that Jim Carrey after years of loving his amazing talent and interviews & what I have learned from it all is that he seems to be just like the rest of us. We like him with with super sensitive feelings, appears so caring, and so humble. We all have feelings but there are so many people who are extremely sad, anxious, mad at things we cannot change causing depression, anxiety, & then we turn to things that aren't good for us in order to temporarily hide or run away for a while but all it does is make our life harder and worse. For those of you that don't feel that way don't change!!!!!! The fact Jim wants assist with helping others who suffer is amazing and selfless and I as a fan and someone who could use his thoughts am Thankful to God for giving him the guts to do it. It's awesome!!! We often put on phony masks, phony/fake actions, and attitudes when inside we aren't feeling it. It's so hard to do that day by day, that in itself causes stress and sadness. I blame negative media and I blame negative reality TV because they run it in the ground. Someone please come up with "The Good News Channel" & when you do I want a percentage of the profits 😎 I mean it is my idea, but I would use it to help people. I've been a social worker since 1996 starting with child protection, adult juvenile protection and investigations, worked with agency for persons with disabilities to assist children and adults with extremely severe mental & physical disabilities, and so on. I've seen some tough stuff as have many and we need to help ourselves in order to be a great help to others. If I had money and authority I would have already come up with The Good News Channel, even positive commercials only. Social workers don't make much lol!!! Hey Jim just an idea for ya or anyone else out there for that matter. Just don't forget me k? 😉 I can to help others but also because it is my idea 😊 I would help animals too they are unconditionally loving and should be included They are a creation of God. I would also like to help our environment. So don't leave me out. Anyway, playing around a bit but if it happened I would be super serious because we all need something positive to go to, watch for a change or just get out and there's nothing out there if you like TV (I'm a morning exerciser). Anyway, after a hard serious day all you watch is negative stuff on tv or news via internet so I turn to comedy's like Jim and music. It's as if no one cares about the good stuff when there is actually a lot of good things going on out there in the world if we were informed or had a place to check it out I mean wouldn't you like to know? I stopped watching the news it's too depressing. Kinda like that Like Don Henley(From the eagles) song "dirty laundry" just listen to the lyrics and that will tell you so much with regard to what I'm saying. Thank You for reading & im sorry if I offended anyone or said anything to bother someone. I just would like to see some happiness in the world for a change that would be so nice to see😊. My Love & Blessings to All. Sincerely, Christa

I believe those who want to do big things, such as Jim Carrey, will feel a sense of connection with this video. Every sentence he spoke meant something truly meaningful and deep to me. I see a lot of what a want through what he's speaking. Everything he said answered a question deep within myself that is containing me from breaking free from this 9-5 life and doing with it what I want. Us dreamers don't find any coincidence in spectating this video. It isn't a mere coincidence that I stumble across this video in a time in my life where I have asked God for answers on my life dream and goal. I ask for constant reassurance to keep walking down the path that I'm paving on my own. A lot of you will say I'm just a dreamer with big goals like everybody else but the difference between me and you is that I won't stop until I've reached my goal. I won't settle for a cookie cutter house and white picket fence. I want to travel and inspire others like the way Jim Carrey has just inspired me.

I found this video rather randomly, which makes it all that much more serendipitous to me. KZfaq, and the internet in general, has become extremely toxic and I hate it. The fans who follow people are vultures always waiting to attack you for things as simple as grammar. It is good to see a channel whose followers and commenters are actually nice for once. The content is also good, too, haha. Immediately subscribing.

Wow I've been living my life like this the whole time!! Listen to this man's words of wisdom. My philosophy is this. If I can make a person behind the register at a store smile and laugh just for a moment.. then I know that I've made their day and the next customer will truly be greeted with a real smile. How we treat others will affect the next person this I promise you.

That indian summer instrumental in the background makes this even more touching and moving for the better

I just happened to come across this today. I SO needed to hear this today. I was just to ""ugh!" today. Thank you for putting this up.

I can tell that his speech changed a big part of who i am and how i see the world.

"The affect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is". Pure Love. Thank you Jim, thank you Eckart, thank you Buddha, thank you world.To live fully in the Now without addictions to your brain is the greatest freedom there is.

There's some incredible insights in his words, he's unplugged from the Matrix and tapped into something eternal and profound. Wishing him the best...

I will call this..."A word in season" God knows I needed to hear it today. Thank you for posting this.

Since childhood, he has been my favorite Comedian/Actor.

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" That. Hit me.

You know what I loved you as a actor before and now I love you even more

"How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide? That's all you have to figure out." So simple yet so mind opening. Why don't we teach this in schools? Why don't we talk about this during those long nights with our friends? When has humanity lost its way? I sure as hell feel misplaced in the current generation because it is all about power and money. Love is often superficial and fugitive, not honest and powerful as it used to be. However, I am part of this system that I find so wrong and deluded. One day, I will find that quality in me that only I can provide for the people I love and everyone else and that is the day that I will feel truly alive. Thank you for reading my comment, I hope it inspired you to express yourself as well because, trust me, you will feel better after doing so.

i would love to see a documentary about jim carrey travelling through scandinavia just speaking about life

Carrey was my favorite actor as a child, and he forever will be. I love this message.

i love how most of his motivation came from his father. thats so heartwarming. 😍😍😢😢😢

"I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is."

Not gonna lie, i have only seen one of his film(the mask) that too a long time ago, i can't say how good a actor he is but i can sure tell he's a great human being and he looks like a very enlightened man. Lastly greatly put together, great work

I get where he's coming from.. No humans will ever be worthy, alone, or together. He's discovered that Love is a third party. It can't be possessed, it can only be cultivated. He's a brilliant (Free) man who has discovered the real beauty that this tapestry of fortune, we call life,.. has to offer every one of us. It is beautiful. In every way. He's a leader who has experienced, understood, and discovered that the tinsel means absolutely nothing in the big picture. He is describing the possibility for humanity advancing beyond the lizard brain of fight, or flight. Basically, the rules of faith in Love. Bravo!!! Jim Carry.. Bravo!!!

“The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is “ I’m really feeling this

We are all on this Earth for a reason. We all have a special skill or talent that no one else has, that only we can give to the world. Good luck on your journey, and may you find your purpose :)

thid one is so powerful i love it!!!

He is NOT crazy- he is one of the most sane people among us!

I never realized how intelligent this man truly is. You see him and all you think is....'funny guy'....I'm so glad I saw this video.....the words he speaks are truly prophetic like....very emotinal

I want more 'Eternal Sunshine...' I want more raw depth and his capability to intertwine introversion and strategic audacity to perspire in his expression. I intend to search more, but in saying 'more wish not to sound short changed thus far. I have such respect for such a character on and off screen, within chuckles and without!

loved him since i was nearly a baby. great actor, very funny, with an amazing outlook on lide. an intelligent and deep man aswell

I love this man❤️ one of a kind
