Jim Carrey made his name as a comic actor. His antics and exaggerated expressions earned him loads of fans, movies, and money.<\/p>\n
But now, he\u2019s stepped away from his Hollywood life.<\/p>\n
No more glitzy balls or awards ceremonies. No more glamour. No more living in the public eye.<\/p>\n
In an interview, he shared how he came to realize some personal truths. He said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve done enough.<\/em><\/strong> Given the option of how to spend his time, he\u2019s choosing a personal pursuit.<\/p>\n He could easily keep acting. He could do commercials and ads around the globe for obscene money. He could sip champagne on a private yacht.<\/p>\n But at the end of the day, what is most satisfying and rewarding? What leaves us feeling more fulfilled?<\/p>\n A personal pursuit (be it art, music, woodworking, or any other) feeds us on a deeper level. It lets us grow and evolve.<\/p>\n A personal pursuit allows us to improve over time. We get to feel our progress and explore new angles.<\/p>\n And it doesn\u2019t have to consume every minute.<\/p>\n We can step away for months or years, and come back whenever we like, like a family home that always has a light on.<\/p>\n As we move through life, the veils of the material world will fall away.<\/p>\n Our bodies change. Our motivations change. What used to matter more will come to matter less.<\/p>\n At one time, fame and fortune were the holy grail to Jim Carrey. He worked hard for them.<\/p>\n Eventually, he had enough.<\/p>\n And what felt more right was time spent alone, working on something that mattered to him.<\/p>\n Not to bring more glory, but just to enjoy spending the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jim Carrey made his name as a comic actor.
