Really? Will Smith you might be asking. Yes.
This video is a powerful testament to what he stands for in his life – and what he tries to convey to his children and others. His message is one of hope, redemption, unwavering focus and strength in the face of adversity.
Here are a few highlights:
He shares his wisdom on life:
- Love living
- Greatness is not esoteric
- We make life complex – it’s not
Yes it can (be that easy):
- Cultivate a sense of becoming something great than who you are now
There’s no shortcut to success:
- No matter how talented you are, you’ll fail without skill
Lay one brick at a time:
- Don’t set out to build a wall; instead, focus on laying one perfect brick at a time. Over time, you’ll have built your wall.
Focus on making a difference:
- We all have a spiritual responsibility.
- I want the world to be better because I was here.
Represent an idea:
- Read “The Alchemist.”
- I can create whatever I want to create.
You have to believe:
- There’s no need for a Plan B, that just gets in the way of Plan A.
Nothing is unrealistic:
- Being realistic is the most common road to mediocrity.
Our thoughts are physical:
- If we dream something, that is a physical thrust toward something.
- There’s redemptive power in making a choice instead of feeling as if you’re at effect with the Universe.
- Just decide!
You really gotta focus.
Attack your fears.
Be willing to die for the truth.
Protect your dream.
