Quotes from Jim Henson. When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here. Its a wonderful life and I love it. Despite this discussion of things spiritual - I still think of myself as a very human being. I have the full complement of weaknesses, fears, problems, ego, and sensuality. But I think this is why were here - to work our way through all this, and, hopefully, come out a bit wiser and better for having gone through it all. I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world, toward people, toward my work. I think Im here for a purpose. I think its very likely that we all are, but Im only sure about myself. I try to tune myself in to whatever it is that Im supposed to be, and I try to think of myself as a part of all of us - all mankind and all life. I find its not easy to keep these lofty thoughts in mind as the day goes by, but it certainly helps me a great deal to start out this way. I believe that life is basically a process of growth - that we go through many lives, choosing situations and problems that we will learn through. I believe that we form our own lives, that we create our own reality, and that everything works out for the best. I know I drive some people crazy with what seems to be ridiculous optimism, but it has always worked out for me. I dont know exactly where ideas come from, but when Im working well ideas just appear. Ive heard other people say similar things - so its one of the ways I know theres help and guidance out there. Its just a matter of our figuring out how to receive the ideas or information that are waiting to be heard. I spend a few minutes in meditation and prayer each morning. I find that this really helps me to start the day with a good frame of reference. As part of my prayers, I thank whoever is helping me - Im sure that somebody or something is - I express gratitude for all my blessings and try to forgive the people that Im feeling negative toward. I try hard not to judge anyone, and I try to bless everyone who is part of my life, particularly anyone with whom I am having any problems. I think there are lots of ways of leading very good lives and growing spiritually. This process of growth goes on whether we believe in it or not. If our message is anything, its a positive approach to life. That life is basically good. People are basically good. Simple is Good. Some people claim Kermit is my alter-ego. Im not sure I know what that means. I like to work Kermit because theres a lot of leeway for ad-libbing, which I dont have with most other characters but Im not sure that Im not Kermit. Life is meant to be fun, and joyous, and fulfilling. May each of yours be that - having each of you as a child of mine has certainly been one of the good things in my life. Know that Ive always loved each of you with an eternal, bottomless love. A love that has nothing to do with each other, for I feel my love for each of you is total and all-encompassing. Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. Its a good life, enjoy it. I love my work, I enjoy it. I have a terrific group of people who work with me. Ive always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. Its so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter. The most sophisticated people Ive ever known had just one thing in common: they were all in touch with their inner children. [about Kermit] He can say things I hold back.
