Does any one else feel like these speeches should be given to students BEFORE they spend four years earning a degree in a field that never really interested them?
Amen
TOTALLY......ABSOLUTELY....
ABSOLUTELY, ZIPPY !
True...
Sure thing, you are right sir!
Imagine if Jim Carrey was your teacher. I'd never miss a class.
saame
true words
u know i'd get detention, on purpose
lethalspizzle ahaahah SMH
I'll never skip classes everr haha
"You can fail at what you don't want. You might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
Damn, that one hit. That one hit hard.

Straight chills down my spine when he said that.
Of all the quotes people pull out, almost no one pulls out: "Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and faith leaps over it."
this is probably my favorite of his, ever
Awesome
i've repeated it multiple times to let it work ...
Oh I Love it.
And it appears to be his own work too.
This is bang on. Nothing more real in the world. This needs to resonate with everytime
"You might fail at something you don't like so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love"
wow Jim just made one of the most inspirational quotes ever.
+Aniket Rudraksha lol not just inspirational but true!
I agree, that's one of my favorites from him.
Aniket Rudraksha this is beautiful🙌🙏
Aniket Rudraksha how bout “most people choose their paths out of fear disguised as practicality” phew
Wasn’t that his father who said it?
"The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." Jim Carrey. Simple inspiring.
Hello Chia Wildy. To that quote, I want to correct it a little with the following: The positive effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. The least valuable currency there is is therefore the negative effect you have on others.
@@Destruct820 I think Jim was right and tried to be unbiased because positive or negative effects sometimes depend on which sides you're on or which perspective you have. Whatever feels positive for me may not also be positive for you and vice versa.
That quote is almost perfect
This is a thing I try to live by. Even when days are really grey, depressing, I prefer to smile and bring a little joy in the days of others. They smile back, and... everything is great.
*"Money is great, but experience changing a life..."*
No notes to refer to, no break whatsoever.. continuous flow of energy and a marvelous story telling.. that you wouldn't want him to stop!!
What an experience that was!!!
he did have teleprompters.
Notes... -> 24:20 just saying ;)
Total bull
I saw this speech just before I was about to not apply for a space tech high school. I wanted to go there but was terrified of leaving my parents, friends and home town and moving about 1000 miles away from home. Not to mention that I was certain I was going to be the dumbest pupil at that school if I did get in. Then I heard this speech and realised that at least I had to try, so I applied. Now about 6 years later I think that's the best decision I've made so far in my life, and I would have missed it all if it wasn't for what Jim Carrey says in this video. Incredibly thankful i heard this!
"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world." Insane. Thank you, Jim.
this is so true! since I decided to stand up, speak up, demand respect and be heard at work, trying to follow my dream and stopping bullying at same time I noticed a lot of enemies and opposition than when I just was trying to be accepted by others and get on pleasing everyone but me . I was invisible,yes. I am more visible now. I am still standing alone tho. I rather pick myself up believing there is an end to this than let them trying to keep me in the box they want.
@@gracelondonian go get them! I'm gonna follow
@@LosBlancoo yes, I am still fighting 💪🏻😫
Thank god people like him exist.
We love him......
Jonathan Arena ***thank the universe
Everyone can be a person like him. You just have to let go of the fear. The fear of people's opinions, the fear of failure before even trying and the fear of never being enough. You are you and that's everything you need.
Ever thought you would never get a work done but kept saying 'keep cool, it not impossible' and got it done? That's how easy your thoughts can effect your view on every situation in life, how difficult it may seem. It's so easy like it is not. We all fear leaving old habits behind because of the unknown, but if we stopped trying to walk over and over again as a child, we would still be there sitting on the floor, being angry at every walking person passing.
Today it is difficult to seperate faith from religion but it's worth the try :)
Edit: In the end it's not important to be like him or like anyone. Just be you ;)
Thank the universe ;)
God with a little g... He deserves much more respect. God bless you.
I wonder if he knows just how poignant the line at 19:47 is; for people like me, with a disability .. "my soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul"
I'm going to try and remember that every day, from now on 💛
Are you still remembering it every day?
I am you from the Future
@@thiswasme5452 bruh Bailey is mine
@@thiswasme5452 yes I am. I have the quote written on a piece of paper, taped to my bedroom wall. And every now and then, I come back to this video to hear it from him again 💛
@@nuclear9977 I'm your voice from the future?
"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" -- This still hits me till this day, even after watching this speech for like 10 times whenever I feel low or off track. I used to think that acceptance is all you need when I was a child, probably upto college. I found this video around my 2nd year, and it changed me in such ways I can't explain. This is to the guy, whom I have never met and only watched in screens, thank you Jim! He inspires youth to be conscious, which is rare from an actor of his scale.
One of the best speeches ever, thanks!
+Sbeast absolutely!!!!!!!
Jim Carrey is a wonderful human being. Years ago my friend was dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's) disease. Somebody wrote a message about it to Jim. He responded with an autographed picture that said 'Spank you very much.' He was buried holding it.
Wow! I hope this it true. Very amazing.
i wrote him as a child and got the same picture that said ''spank you very much''. thats awesome it must have brought your friend joy
Andrew Powell
Andrew Powell That is just epic.
That was deep, thanks for sharing
This speech will go in history as one of the greatest motivational speech of all times. Till, mankind lives on this planet, this speech shall remain immortal. Very powerful, deeply resonated!
Rarely see this side of Jim and I am so much more proud of him now❤️
I can’t see what the acceptance speech is for
@@emmajames5672 it looks like he was given an honorary degree from an Indian university. Honorary degrees are awarded to famous people, so the university can list them as alumnae (graduates.) The famous person is not required to have attended the lectures, because he/she is further ahead in the field of the degree than actual graduates and likely too famous to mix with the masses on a course plus no time as they work. The famous person is contacted towards the end of the course to see if they will « accept » the degree. So this is Jim C’s acceptance speech.
Right? This was one amazing speeches... life changing for me
U r proud of me. And who are you? Does he need you to be proud of him ? 🤣
@@SagarSingh-rt8rx I was gonna say the same thing. He doesn't care that your proud of him homie 😂
That ladies and gentlemen is what an enlightened person looks like. wow he can't even contain the joy, I love this.
Enlightened! The joy&love in his eyes is benevolent...and not in need of validation. It's his gift. He's enjoying all of it without a moment of egotistical nervousness. The light passes through him out to us all. This is a profound speech masquerading as something simple. And yet...it IS simple! Lovely lovely human being. I'm grateful to have discovered this video.
The only way I can thank this guy is...by actually following what he said...
Kanishka Singh beautiful :)
Right sir
Powerful
❤️❤️❤️
So...3 years later...did you do it?
Some interesting metaphors / similes & personal quotes,
3:41 "life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you."
7:24 "there's a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that is going to eat you."
8:09 "beware the unloved because they will eventually hurt themselves"
11:41 "you can fail at what you don't want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
13:51 "the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is."
19:49 "My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul."
22:00 "How tricky is this (our) ego that it would tempt us with the promised of something we already possess."
24:08 "When I say, life doesn't happen to you, or happens for you, I really don't know if that's true.I am just making a conscious choice to perceive challenges as something beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way."
I Screenshot for English exams
This one resonates with me, 23:23 "Letting the Universe know what you want, and working toward it, while letting go of how it comes to pass" That's being one with the Universe with no resistance...so true
Thank-You so much for your effort, "it is" muchly appreciated
Want to add
Hope walks you through fire
Faith leaps over.
@@ryankneen6763 Its an English exam not a philosophy exam lol..
I'm convinced that Jim Carrey is an angel in disguise sent by God. He's such a beautiful soul! 💖✨
As a 23 year old who's struggling in life and currently at my lowest. Having the haunting memories of past academic failures, bad memories of being bullied and peoples judgesments. Listening to this speech is just what I needed right now as I'm on the edge, seriously what a phenomenal speech and message for the whole world to see. I will refer back to this when I need to snap out of my reality.
hey man. im with you 23 as well. find the small beautiful and intricate designs in this world and always look in an ever changing perspective. because ur mind is a powerful tool. that needs to be trained to help you, not hurt you. music also is amazing. keep ur head up!
im 23 too and i feel like this day to day too. this helped
so just google that? transcendental meditation?
Yes, take a look at TM (dot) org . TM is easy to learn and practice. Can't be learned online or from a book--have to learn from a certified teacher at a TM Center. There is a course fee, but it is anon-profit organization and they try to make it available for all regardless of income. There are hundreds of scientific studies showing dramatic benefits. Also, take a look at David Lynch Foundation website. They are doing fabulous work teaching TM to kids in at-risk situations, Vets with PTSD, abused women and children, people with addictions, etc.
Good luck mate.
“I did something that made people present their best selves wherever I go” New definition of success.
I can’t wait to teach this point!!!

14:29
the new definition of success indeed
He speaks from his heart, and present the hardest facts and words of wisdom in the veil of comedy....Probably one of the best actors of the century...Love You Jim
His happy crazy energy is truly moving. Love this man.
Me too, shame he got deceived by the Maharishi who is one of the most obvious fake Gurus on Planet and is a multi billion dollar marketing institution that has no other goal than to con money out of people using truth to deceive, just like Mephistopheles deceived Faust, and Lucifer always deceives with Truth, as Lucifer Morning Star never lies.. But Maharishi does. He is a Mara Demon, much like Thailand's Luang Phor Dhammajayo of the Dhammakaya money laundering Buddhist Cult. The Buddha spent 6 years practicing under a Rishi (maha Rishi means great Rishi/Ascetic hermit). In the end he left, because he saw they could not lead further than deep meditative states, but could not teach the path to the cessation of suffering and lasting bliss. Buddha found it. No Rishi ever did. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is not ascetic. Nor is he a Yogi. he is an orator and a deceiver, and a clever Indian man who devised a plan to take advantage of the gullible hippies who first started arriving in India with wide gaping eyes and easily impressed, to start his now massive and scary billionaire cult
can you explain this joke @ 2:57 ..i didn't get it...what does he mean by slept with the head to the north last night??

I just told the girl of my dreams, that i love her.. because of this speech..
+Gravitating beautiful
so what did the girl say......?
+Gravitating Wow ♥
+Gravitating You never told us. Did she say yes?
I'd say Gravitating won her love. First he told her, then he told the youtubiverse. I wouldn't have done that if I had been shot down in flames.
Jim has transcended the ordinary. People call him crazy, no, he's evolved. The beauty is in the simplicity....biggest issue for human's is over complication. Jim simplifies reality.
He is literally amazing ❤ this speech is everything.
I agree. He is unafraid. So very loving and inspiring.
He has an effective and coherent understanding of long ignored Esoteric knowledge. “Crazy” is what they call anyone who speaks the true true
I needed the inspiration, and it couldn’t have come from a better kind of person, he’s so on my level. I love life, laughing & good souls. Im at a point of my life where I’m really hurting & I know it will get better , but human me is suffering in sadness. Time will heal, it’s the waiting that is painful. Jim Is my kind of human✌️❤️🙂
@@brendentalaga1999 WWG1WGA!
He just explained the reality of life in 26 minutes. Could be the life changing 26 minutes of everybody's life I swear. Man the way he explain things is just ufff
It's 2020 and I come back to this video and revisit it from time to time.... each time feeling a deeper understanding of Jim's message and taking away another pearl of wisdom. What a remarkable speech and human being. Jim has opened the door to all the facets of his personality and living his best life and truth. What a remarkable, heartfelt speech. Thank you Jim Carey ..... you are an amazing gift. 🙏🏻
I feel the same way. I just think this is the most powerful way ive spent my alone time. This is so pure! So true.. there is no way u can grasp or receive all that he is saying in one or 2 listens...ive watched this every day for 2 months and i STILL get new revelations everytime! The painting was so powerful. Who knew right
Jim Carrey has a unique way of saying profound things in a humorous
way. I love it. One of the best commencement speeches I have heard.
Jagdish Dave and that’s what makes him legendary.
The moment I watched this, it literally changed my life. I now have a totally different perspective on my ultimate goals in life, and just life in general. This has really freed me of unnecessary stuff I used to worry about and get upset over. I feel reborn after watching this and am ready to conquer anything.
Totally agree! He's been a favorite of mine way before this speech! Also keep up the awesome job on your channel! Big Fan:)
bless you....
It changed mine as well.
Hey Matt, just want to check up on you and make sure you still hold this perspective. If not, watch it again. Always stay true to yourself.
That's really nice of you Brad, upvoted.
15:57 « your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world »
16:05 « risk being seen in all of your glory »
The most beautiful speech ever. Thank you Jim Carrey.
“Don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart” this quote I live by
Jim's speech here is absolutely fantastic. No wonder he's separated himself from the banality of Hollywood.
Totally agree
Plus he never has to make another movie for rest of his life. Residual income is something they should teach in school
The most powerful speech I have ever heard. No truer words have ever been spoken.
I concur, wholly blessing remembrance with sincere wholeheartedness that would make anyone confidently calm as well as inspired!
I miss my brother Bob. He was my own personal Jim Carrey. He took his own life last winter and I watch Jim every time I miss him, which is every single day.
Xxxx
Now it's your turn to be Bob in someone's life.. Help them to grow, Make them enjoy life like your Brother did even he personally was struggling...
I hope I will read something good about you in Future....
Physically he's gone but his Ideas and his ways still lives in you and in a way some part of his consciousness lives inside you..
You are a very strong person because it's not easy to share your pain with Strangers but you did, Kudos...
Believe it or not, I had a brother I likened to Jim Carrey his entire life, and he killed himself last September. That may not mean anything, but whenever I see Jim Carrey, I worry about him a little bit.
Why do all good humans go like this ?
Man there is so much more to him than the comedian he had to portray for so long. He was pouring his heart out and sharing so much value to these people and all of us while still keeping up with the smoke and mirrors expected of him. Very intelligent man and great value in this video.
Jim Carrey and Conan O'Brien are living proofs of why most people will tell you that comedians are some of the smartest people in the world. This speech is a perfect example of effective communication on many different levels. Thank you so much for uploading this video. It benefited not only your graduates but other people across the world who seriously need words of encouragement and inspiration at this point in their lives. I have always admired Jim Carrey but I haven't truly appreciated the kind of person he is until I heard him say those very uplifting words.
Michael Muryn Comedians in general, I think, are smart. But I don't mean to make a comparison between comedic and dramatic actors. I think they each have their strengths and weaknesses. I do prefer, however, listening to the words of comedians because they strike me as people who always see the world in a different light. I can almost put them in the same league as the poets and philosophers. George Carlin, Louis C.K., and Woody Allen are some of the best examples that come to mind. Their thoughts are deep but they express it so cleverly that you're gonna laugh until the ideas behind them make you think, or sometimes, it's the other way around.
I think the best commedians, are the ones with real life tought expiriences, and things went wrong, so they can relate to many other people and sad realities of life.
"My soul is not contained by my body, my body is contained by the limitless of my soul." - Jim Carrey
That sentence really should be written in a book.
You can't contain the container, man
limitlessness
"My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul."
Reminds me of a zen story. If a tree associates itself as the tree then it dies when it is cut down. If a tree associates itself with the forrest then it lives as the tree is cut down. And so on.
I couldn’t stop watching. This was incredible. I never had any education after high school. I doubt that it could have given me what this man did in 15 minutes.
After all these years, it still ends up making me cry. Thanks Jim.
He is the only comedian on earth who can let the people lough without need to say nasty words
Only??? are you sure about that? how about Rowan Atkinson (Mr.Bean)?
DrToni100 him and Robin Williams 🖤
Stephen Colbert can
Jerry Seinfeld
Jim Carrey once said he looked up to Charles Chaplin who could make people laugh without him saying one word.
He should do a ted talk.
Ronnie Garcia He should write a book!
The TED talks wish! They should be so lucky.
Great idea. He should.
I’m all for it!
They think he's crazy
"Choose love.
And don't ever let fear
turn you against
Your playful heart."
"Relax and dream up a good life."
Out of all of the profound sentiments, this one is the most effective for me... Jim is an irreplaceable gem. ♡
I cry every time I watch this. I try to watch it a few times a year.
You doin good
Really!!?
Same
Why
I did cry
"You might fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love".
"Hope walks through the fire; faith leaps over it." Such a powerful phrase! Definitely tattoo worthy!!
When a comedian makes more sense then todays politician, U r great Jim sir...
I listen to this whenever I'm feeling down, always makes me feel better
Same here! I need his motivational words to get myself on track.
Same here man. Jim, the one and only...
Alecs Pabilonia me currently
same here man , this is my 3rd
Same ..same 😊
Thank you Jim Carrey - 6 years after you've given this speech, it still inspires. Bless you.
“Risk being seen” has really stuck with me since watching this
“We are not the filmstrip, we are the light that shines through” - Jim Carrey
"There is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that is going to eat you" - Jim Carrey
Omg. I cried for about 15 min in front of my screen. Then quitted my job. If the effect on others is the most valuable currency in the world, then Jim Carrey is probably one of the richest man on the planet. I am very grateful that someone like him exist.
Pascal Ladal how are you now
Yes, how are you?
I third this question. I hope it all worked out for you!
Maybe it's not about quitting your job but appreciating it as it is
@@Dnlrmrez no bro I just quit me job too don't say that! Hahaha
Incredibly profound....I have lived in fear my whole life and now that I am in my last quarter, I find I am filled with regret. Even though I've always believed 'love is stronger than fear', after watching this, I realize that I haven't practiced it. I think this is critical advice to our young people and I for one am taking it, from this moment forward. Bless you, Mr. Carrey and enjoy the journey and the freedom from the ego!
This is the most profound and inspiring commencement speech I've ever heard. May God continue to bless you, Jim Carrey, for the fun and laughter you bring to people through your films, as well as for the wisdom that you have shared.
Is there a medal of honor for humans in general? Give this man one of those....like right now
nobel peace price would suffice.
Give yourself the medal. You are him.
Gos bless ilove
"Hope walks through fire but faith leaps over it." Those are some damn true words from the most epic comedian ever. Thanks for this speech, Jim.
Never really been a massive fan of Jim Carey but that speech has just changed my perception of him. Very deep, very profound, very powerful. As an ex British soldier I've heard some truly awe inspiring speeches from some truly awe inspiring leaders and I'd put this up there with them!
Anyone that's says Jim Carrey is crazy is crazy.
I consider myself a Chrisian at my core and this speech nearly brought me to tears a few times.
Brilliant words from a brilliant mind.
I didn't realize how 'present ' Mr. Carrey is.
I would be proud to have him address any group. Wisdom comes in many forms.
This message visited me in a time of darkness. Now I'm reminded that I don't have to be afraid of imaginary dogs trying to eat me, in my mind. Also had some good laughs. Thank you.
Great
I've watched literally 10,000's of videos & docs on the subject of spirit and if there was just one I was allowed to share with others to help them on their journey, it would be this one.
+Matt Pruitt I'ts because Jim walked the path of a common man with steps of wisdom.
💕👌
“So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.”
I've spent most of my working years that way.
If you're younger than 31, take it from me and don't let fear guide your career path.
If you're older than 31, it's not too late. Stop letting fear guide your career path.
If you are 31, pick one and go with it.
Dude, I'm 31. What the heck?
I'm 31i I was ment to see this message.
But i dont have much choice
I'm also 31. I currently have an excellent high paying professional job that I love. I got to it through a huge leap of faith and by working hard in the same industry+grad school. I'm currently engaged in another leap of faith that's important to me, and it too is going well. I know many younger people don't fully grasp the potential of a positive mental attitude combined with hard work to get what you want in life. To them it sounds something like "be sure to realign your chi to hack the matrix!"... but if you truly have faith and a vision, you will get to where you want to be.
@@valeriew8153 Happy for you, brother. Keep chasing it. Love the process.
I really wish these speeches were given to kids entering high school. College graduates are locked in, they've completed their degrees. High school students have the time to think about it and plan accordingly.
When Jim Carrey revealed that painting, I broke down in tears. It took that for me to realize that I am not this shell, but an ineffable life force running through everything. So often I say to myself, "I am depressed", "I am lost." If only I knew how powerful these words can be, that I can fool myself into thinking that I really am these things. I have realized this stuff over and over with no real change, so much that I don't know where to begin anymore. But I'm always beginning. All I have is what I have now, and it's a lot.
Bravo buddy! Go for it!
Jim Carrey is one brilliant man!! Loved this!!!
Agreed! This really shows a deeper side to this man. How fantastic for those graduates to have been in his audience.
Nirvana
Stop what you are doing right now and bookmark/favorite this video, as I have. I solemnly believe that you have just discovered the User's Manual for LIFE with maximum fulfilment, success, and most importantly, happiness. One of the most important videos ever posted on UA-cam or anywhere else.
Every joke in this seems to have a deeper meaning when you really pay attention. Really inspiring
Best quote I've ever heard in my entire life
"How tricky can this ego be, by tempting us with a promise for something we already possess."
Apply it to love, happiness and peace. Life is amazing, and it all begins by you, seeing it that way
Quite true. It reminded me of the poem from Hafez, the Iranian poet:
"For years and years I was looking for the magic crystall ball. Now I realize that I always had it in my heart".
I love this poem and hearing the same truth from Jim Carry...wow.
he is so kind and humble, a simple man
Yeah :)
Those attributes are a key to being successful in life
yes, agree
I didn't mean simple as "ordinary" or "naive", but as humble, friendly, person who opens up to people and doesn't act self-complacently or superior. that's what I meant so I don't see any reason for you to correct me
Jim clearly experiences life further than most ppl can. He sees so far outside the box that ppl call him crazy but he makes perfect sense... His speech really hits home for me. There is so much out here for us as humans to experience. To not get stuck in a rut in this life. He saying, to keep moving towards what you love. Even if it seems like its out of reach for you. Keep trying. Push forward. You can effect so many others. In an amazing way. There is so much more to life than work and bills.
I graduated today with a Bachelor of Arts degree.Thank you to God 😇🙏I've been watching this video from 4 years ago and it hasn't been an easy journey, I'm thankful for never giving up but having perseverance and faith in myself.Good things do happen and everyone Is limitless.
it was this speech from Jim that makes me take a chance to pursuit my dream..which is make money from playing video games, some might say its a cliche dream, but a dream nonetheless to me, since i enjoy video game.. why shouldn't i try to turn passion into profit.. a dream that was plant in me since boyhood and continues to haunt me till now and i think it will continue to haunt me till the day i die if i don't do something about it.. so for the first time in my life, i'm taking a chance at something.. "you could fail at what you don't want, you might as well take a chance and do what you love"
right Jim?
Great man. Wish you Luck :D
Just don't quit. We know your niche has a hell lot of competition. So do something to Stand out. Write down 10 ideas every morning for how can you stand out. I am sure one day you will get one :)
One of the MOST ENLIGHTENED speeches I have ever heard. This speech can be studied at all levels... at a joke level, at those graduates level, as a spiritual seeker, and as an Enlightened being.. Pure Perfection.... i just dont get who would thumbs this down.... man oh man
+Arnold Nagy I agree I found this to be epically moving and amazing and I love the comedy side mixed in with the deep wisdom it contains. Regarding the thumbs down I don't get it but all videos have this no matter how good they are. " I cannot be contained because I am the container!" LOVE THIS
:)
so WOKE. He KNOWS. haha Delightful and Divine Truth
I know this is 2 years old...but "Conservative Christians" hate Jim Carey...they call him possessed by Satan. That's who would give a thumbs down. Sad!
The man is clearly a comic genius; but even more important, he is a genius in his consciousness as a human being, an enlightened spirit, a man with a heart for the human race and this planet that we call home. Who'd have thought that in addition to keeping us in stitches for decades, he would turn out to be such a beautiful sage at a time when we really need to be listening to him. Learn through laughter, because nothing is really all that serious here in this life we call our own. Lighten up, people. It's important to raise our vibration through any method available. Humor is one of them.
Hear me out; one day when Jim will be very old he’s gonna make a film that will be so big and so acclaimed, one of the best ever. About a meaning of life where he will be the real himself
'So many of us choose our paths out of fear, disguised as practicality'
This hit me harder than anything i have ever heard.
Such a simple but undeniable truth for so many.
This speech is so more profound than what it looks like, I really like how he transfers information. The funny and ironic thing about this not everybody understands what's he's referring to and just found the whole video "funny" when in reality he's trying to glitch your mind. Thank for sharing this!
You are correct. Unless you have experienced what he is pointing to you cannot really get it. This speech is really phenomenal regardless of the watcher though. He is creating in you, laughter, joy, sadness, silence, awareness, space, bliss. Miraculous really.

He gets it. He has had an ego-dealth trip or has gotten there with meditation. I would guess with meditation since he is so comfortable with the idea of it that he can discuss it like this. "A bird can never fly too high as long as it flies with its own wings"...
"He gets it. He has had an ego-dealth trip "
TM is the exact opposite of "ego death." It is the only form of meditation that does NOT reduce the brain's mind-wandering "default mode network" which is where sense-of-self comes from.
I have to admit that I was getting frustrated buy the people laughing but there were moments in this speech that I think hit home for everyone in that room.
At first people were just expecting comedy and politely laughing. Once they actually started listening the whole room was inspired.
My nursing pinning ceremony was supposed to be today. I'm going on a spree listening to all kinds of Commencement Speeches & this by far is the best....
Congratulations!
A hundred nuggets of pure wisdom in half an hour! Yes, Jim, you're simply awesome. I'm a teacher, and my students benefit from your experience. Thanks a ton. Love always.
I would give anything to have this man be the commencement speaker at my college.
If wisdom was currency, Jim Carrey would be the richest man in the world
How rich you are already.
Yes sir. My God, we need this more than ever, the world over.
He currently IS the richest man in the world....he's sharing his wealth with us all.
The effect you have on others is your best currency.
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.
Boom.

What a marvelous human this is!
I always come back for this speech when I need that reset button.
Be the change that you want to see.
Same here
Me too
Letting the universe know what you want while working toward it and letting go how it comes to pass
This is the statement that hit me the most.
I keep going back to this. It's more meaningful every time I watch it again the further along I am in my spiritual journey. What a beautiful human being.
I am glad that I stumbled upon this video.

Honestly this speech made me cry because I myself realize that fear has ruled most of my life and stopped me from truly living. I'm going to be 30 and I have no job and live with my parents I feel and perceive my existence as being nothing more then trash and it because of that I developed a extreme fear against life itself. I really want to go to college and chase after my dream to try and become something I thought was impossible. I want to have faith that something bigger exist out there and that even if I have a tiny role, a role does exist for me. This speech was such an enlightenment to me personally because I really feel that if I just take that 1st step that 1 leap of faith whole new possibilities are waiting for me. I don't want to be a coward who scared to live I want to live to just finally be able to feel. Thank god I found this video, I really want to try not being afraid for once in my life.
great realization to have, hope you're doing well! :)
I hope you made that leap.
I hope this finds you doing just that...flying like an eagle!!
I hope you cruised into your 30’s with a diploma/degree buddy.
That’s why he says that better to have that reset button, to be able to move forward at 20, 30 and 60. Doesn’t matter, coz it’s never enough. You can have a great career of acrobat all your life, then lose a leg and move to parents again. Life is divine in all shapes.
The most completed person in the world...He is the only one on earth that gives that positivity and that mood to create our avatar possessed with inspiration to break any obstacle...We must impact it to our source of inner selves.
All my 18 years of education didnt teach me what i learned form this 26 mins of great speech
"Hope walks through the fire but faith leaps over it" Great speech
Here's one comedien who can actually even move you to tears! Bravo!
The only video that you need to see on UA-cam!
I never thought of Jim Carrey as a man of wisdom. Wow.
This is what a life should mean.
We're not a programmed robot who live in the way the others expect.
We're human, we live our life, we create our live.
Live doesn't happen to you, life happen for you.
u got it!
Jim Carrey for President!
dropped out of school in 8th grade(9th?) and is wiser and more intelligent than 90% of masters graduates.
this speech was a wonder to behold. humorous, heartfelt, passionate and thoughtful. notice he had no speech written. no bullet points. no outline. he felt, and meant every word. a master of the spoken word. a true oracle of life. though he has spent decades making us laugh, he has also proven he can touch our souls with his wisdom.
anyone that downvotes this video has only proven to themselves that they have no soul.
this oration WAS a work of art and a pleasure to watch.
bless you Jim Carrey! you have shown us the best of yourself, and it is more than enough.
Exactly my opinion! Well said.
+Sigh PhiGuy just to mention there WAS a speech-screen up there!
But anyway it was one of the most beautiful speech I have ever come across!
Well.... if YOU say so.
I've just found this and I'm literally sat here now in floods of tears...tears of joy and enlightenment. ~Thank you
I would literally do anything just to have the opportunity to sit down across from this man and just listen to him speak
