I am taking off this week and won’t be writing a blog, but I wanted to share this little video with you, especially with Father’s Day coming up.

It’s actor Jim Carrey, saying he realized his purpose in life was to “free people from concern” because of the love and humor he saw modeled by his father.

Jim Carrey? You never know who will turn out to be spiritual. I mean, here’s a guy who was headed for the steel mills of Ontario but managed to become a wacky and wildly successful comedian making millions of dollars.

He says wealth and fame are not where you find your sense of completion, however.

“How will you serve the world?” Carrey asks in this video. “What do they need that your talent can provide?”

Your special contribution doesn’t have to fit any existing mold.

“Take a chance on doing what you love. Relax and dream up the good life . . . I’m the proof that you can ask the universe for it.”

I thought you’d enjoy this. It’s just four minutes.
