Your greatest work
Oh, hi friends!
What is the greatest work you ever produced that never saw the light?
Maybe it’s hidden on your desktop. Stuffed somewhere in a folder. Filed away under ‘drafts.’ Still rolling around in your mind.
What is it? And can you share it with someone today?
“The two most beautiful words in the English language are ‘check enclosed.’”

Since everyone loved Jim Carrey’s art last week, let’s keep the funny train rolling with his incredible commencement speech. (~26 mins, worth every second) And here’s the transcript and one of my favorite quotes:
“You look at a person like me and say, ‘How could we ever hope to reach those kinds of heights, Jim? How can I make a painting that’s too big for any reasonable home? How do you fly so high without a special breathing apparatus?’
This is the voice of your ego. If you listen to it, there will always be someone who seems to be doing better than you. No matter what you gain, ego will not let you rest. It will tell you that you cannot stop until you’ve left an indelible mark on the earth, until you’ve achieved immortality. How tricky is the ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something we already possess.”
Thank you for reading.
Love, Kara
