Some people may want to dismiss the following video because Will Smith is a rich, international superstar  … but that would be a grave mistake.  There was a day not long ago when he had unrealized dreams and no real plan to make them come true.  What differentiates Smith from 99.8% of the planet is that his dreams were already a fait accompli.  His dreams were already a reality, it was simply a matter of execution through belief, work, focus and overcoming fear.
More than anything though, what I hear loud and clear from Smith is he understands one thing loud and clear … the gift of life. Â He was lucky enough to be born. Â That’s the winning lottery ticket. Â He’s simply cashing it in by living the life he chooses to live. Â It is that simple.
I’ve often conveyed many of Smith’s lessons to my children, family and friends … but I know those lessons can carry more weight when coming from someone like Smith. Â Not because he is famous … because he’s used those lessons better than most. Â Even I get occasionally tired of hearing my own voice, so Smith is a great refresher for me as well.
