The Struggling Actor with a Bold Vision
In 1985, Jim Carrey wasn’t a star. He was broke, unknown, and trying to break into Hollywood. But instead of just dreaming about success, he decided to do something radical.
He wrote himself a cheque for $10 million, made out to “Jim Carrey,” with the note “for acting services rendered.” He dated it for Thanksgiving 1995, folded it, and kept it in his wallet.
This wasn’t a random number. It was an intention.
Visualization on Mulholland Drive
Almost every night, Jim would drive up to Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. He’d park, look out over the city, and visualize. Not just the money — the directors praising him, the cameras rolling, the laughter of the audience, and the feeling of success.
He didn’t just want to be rich. He wanted to live it in his mind until it became real.
This is what today we call manifestation, or more specifically, visualization manifestation. It’s the art of mentally rehearsing a reality before it arrives physically.
The Universe Starts Responding
Fast forward to 1994 — almost ten years later. Jim starred in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber — all in the same year.
The pay for Dumb and Dumber?
$10 million.
Exactly what he had written on that cheque. The date was almost spot on — Thanksgiving 1995.
He kept that cheque in his wallet until it fell apart.
What Jim Carrey Manifestation Teaches Us
Jim’s story is more than motivation — it’s a blueprint. Here’s what we learn from it:
1. Clarity is Power
He didn’t write “get rich someday.” He wrote a specific amount, tied to a specific goal. That gave his subconscious a clear target.
2. Belief Before Evidence
He believed it even when there was zero proof. No contacts, no offers, no fame. Just faith and repetition.
3. Action + Alignment
Jim didn’t sit around. He auditioned relentlessly, performed in clubs, and built his craft. Manifestation without effort is fantasy.
4. Environment Matters
His nightly drive to Mulholland wasn’t random — it put him physically in the space of success. This primed his mind and energy.
What Is Dimethyl Sulfide? And What Does It Have to Do with Manifestation?
Just like scientists believe dimethyl sulfide might be a sign of life on distant planets (see our blog on James Webb discoveries), Jim Carrey’s belief was like a biosignature of success — an early sign that reality might be catching up to his intention.

Jim Carrey’s $10 million cheque wasn’t a magic trick — it was a mental contract. A reminder. A seed.
