ππΌ 5 LESSONS I LEARNT FROM 5 JIM CARREY MOVIES ππΌ
Β
I absolutely love movies. In high school I watched around 2-3 movies in a week and would do movie marathons on my own watching 15 movies in a week on holidays. They were movies like Memento, Run Lola Run, Irreversible, Donnie Darko. Bit dark but always made me question and think of stuff I haven't thought of before..
.
I don't watch as much now though but I love a night in watching a movie.. Recently, I found out series 'Rick and Morty', I don't normally watch series but made an exception with this one. Check it out if you haven't heard of it, its fun π
.
On the holiday I had few weeks ago, I watched few Jim Carrey movies again. It's amazing how much I notice when I watch movies I haven't seen in ages, because I changed a lot, my awareness expanded a lot..
.
So here are 5 main things I got out of 5 Jim Carrey movies I watched βΊοΈππΌ
.
1. IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH YOUR OWN PROBLEMS, YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH OTHERS' (Me, Myself & Irene)
.
- Don't brush things under the carpet for the sake of avoiding conflict. Always speak your truth in the moment otherwise you hurt yourself and others around you in the long run.
.
2. IF YOU WANT TO FEEL JOY, YOU HAVE TO FEEL SADNESS AS WELL (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
.
- If you wanna get rid of pain you have to get rid of the beautiful moments too. Pain and happiness are intertwined and you can't avoid pain while having happiness.
.
3. WE ACCEPT THE REALITY OF THE WORLD WHICH WE'VE BEEN PRESENTED (The Truman Show - my favourite π)
.
- Question everything that's around you. Know that someone else created all of it. So you have the power to change it, implement your version as well. You can get out of it as there's no right or wrong way.
.
4. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A MIRACLE, BE THE MIRACLE (Bruce Almighty)
.
- You might want God to do everything for you, but you have the power. You have to see that you create everything in your life, highs and lows. Once you see and take responsibility for that, you can change that.
.
5. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S ON ITS WAY WHEN YOU SAY YES AND ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES TO COME IN (Yes Man)
.
- When you play small and safe, life becomes predictable and boring. You might be saying no feeling like you're not enough for anything so what's the point in even trying.. But once you flip that around and allow life to come to you, life becomes a playful ride..
