I love Will Smith. His movies are awesome. His acting is
great and you know something?
He’s an inspiring dude. He’s not just
some celebrity. He’s a goldmine of inspiration and intelligence.
You’d be surprised how much you can
learn from him when it comes to living your life your own way to attain the
success you deserve.
Here are 9 quotes by Will Smith to inspire you to live
life your own way.
01. “Fear is not real. It is a
product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But
fear is a choice.”
That really puts fear in perspective
eh?
Just imagine that fear is a separate
entity altogether. And then you can do anything you want with it.
Mostly, just throw it away.
02. “If you’re absent during my
struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.”
That’s the thing about people and
so-called friends. So many people care not for your journey to success.
They only see the success and what it
can do for them.
So be very wary. The people who are
not around during your struggles are not really your friends. The ones who are
are the ones who will stick to you forever.
The former aren’t doing you any
favors. So chug them!
03. “Don’t chase people. Be
yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people – the ones who really belong in your life – will come to your. And stay.”
Yep! Be yourself. CHASE yourself!
The rest, will take care of itself.
04. “Stop
letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings
& emotions.”
In other words, these people don’t
matter, at all.
Focus on the other important ones
instead.
05. “Money
& success don’t change people; they
merely amplify what is already there.”
First of all, don’t chase money and
success. It doesn’t work that way.
The money and success you eventually
gain won’t change your life. It’ll only make it easier.
So with that in mind, never doubt
yourself. Be confident, even without the money or status.
06. “Life
isn’t how many breaths you take, but it’s the moments that take your breath away.”
Because you shouldn’t just live to
function.
You should live to be excited,
passionate, happy and of course, have tons of fun.
There’s a time limit on those breaths
by the way.
07. “Too
many people spend money they haven’t earned, to
buy things they don’t want, to
impress people they don’t like.”
That is how people end up in debt.
Stop trying to please everybody. You
can’t. It’s impossible.
Stop aiming to meet the expectations
of others’. Only yours matter.
And stop spending so much on
luxuries. They can only make you happy for so long.
08. “The
only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is, I am not afraid to die on a treadmill. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things.
You are getting off first. Or I am
going to die. It’s that simple.”
Watch this on YouTube in one of his
interviews.
This is to me is about simple
confidence and determination.
Forget being realistic or “faking it
till you make it.”
For once, psyche yourself. Just be.
09. “If you’re not making
someone’s life better, you’re wasting your time.
Because way too many of us always
chase things just for ourselves.
That’s normal, but here’s the twist:
Sometimes in life, if you want to feel better yourself, you just have to help
others.
Perhaps a time for all of us to look
in the mirror.
