How “Jim Carrey” Transformed his “Tics Syndrome ” to a Vast Talent & an Exceptional Success
Today story is about what you see as a weakness in your self and other people denounce you for it, is actually your greatest strength.
The story come from America, The mother Ms. Catherine noticed and found out that her son “Jim “ is blinking in an awkward, irrational, sudden, non rhythmic way, not only his eyes, even his lips, cheeks and entire face is behaving similarly, she thought that he got a normal allergy or irritation in his eyes. However these symptoms prolonged, she took him to the doctor and all doctors said collectively and declared to her that her son got a syndrome called” Tics Disease” which is an uncontrollable, impulsive, irritable, sudden facial muscles moves that affect children at the age of 12. Doctors also declared to her that her son got to take medications to help alleviate the symptoms. Despite medications, they declared to her that her son will continue to struggle with acute sever Tics disease symptoms and that would might be embarrassing to him. Actually it was not easy for Ms. Catherine and her child to adjust, because people started to avoid Jim and his mother, all of this isolated him, and he felt so discouraged with lack of self worth and actualization .The only two persons Jim interacted with were his mother and his cousin “Melissa”.
Ms. Catherine and Melissa supported him and they were the only ones Jim interacted with, until one day at the graduation ceremony of Melissa where Melissa insisted on Jim to come with her to her graduation day. Jim at the first instance refused to attend the ceremony of Melissa, yet upon Melissa insistence on, he agreed to join her at the ceremony.
At the Ceremony, there was one of Jim’s acquaintances who knew the medical condition of Jim and wanted to make people laugh and make fun of him, so he asked Jim to make a comic sketch at front of people and to video tap it to bring joy and make people laugh and happy by watching the comic performance ay the ceremony.
Surprisingly, Jim agreed to perform a comic sketch show or performance at front of people. Remarkably, people were astonished and impressed of how he does the moves in his face without knowing about the Tics syndrome and his condition. What people used to perceive as a dysfunction in Jim, what used to be perceived by Jim as an obstacle and life is not fair with him, what made him struggle an immerse in negative feelings of depression and self petty, happens to become his biggest gift /strength , where people got impressed in his unique performance and much-admired him .
Jim mother Catherin was impressed and asked Jim to preform another comic sketch, she recorded it and sent the video to an acting academy, then he got a casting invitation to perform live at front of the academy committee, Jim became quite successful in his performance, he so much became advanced and mastered the craft of his talent at the acting academy, to the extent he was approached by movie directors where he became the “ Jim Carrey “ we all know, one of the most talented, successful and inspiring actors in Hollywood and one of the most renowned comedians in the history of America .
Jim married his lifetime supporter and cousin Melissa; she continues to be a source of inspiration to him
I hope this story inspires everyone who believe that he/she lacks anything in life whether physical, emotional, financial, and drift into the darkness of self pity, shame, depression, anxiety, or lack of self actualization or any other form of automatic negative thoughts that make him/her feel condemned and deny their existence and right of living a fulfilling joyous life
