Consider the story of Jim Carrey, who used visualization and affirmations to manifest his success as a comedian and actor. He wrote himself a check for $10 million, dated it for Thanksgiving 1995, and added the notation "for acting services rendered." He then visualized himself receiving the check and feeling the emotions of gratitude and abundance. In 1995, Carrey earned exactly $10 million for his role in the movie "Dumb and Dumber." This example illustrates the power of the subconscious mind in manifesting success and abundance.
