Will Smith's quotes, sayings

You are built to create

You are an infinite, powerful, creative force. Never underestimate what you're capable of creating.

You have more choices than you think

You don't have to keep the job, the place, or the life you have today. You can choose a different path - it just requires the willingness to endure the difficulty that comes with change.

Recognize your infinite potential

Recognize the absolute infinite nature of what you could do. Consciousness is a crazy gift that can literally do anything.

Trust your wings, not the branch

Once you're comfortable in your wings, it doesn't matter whether the branch is strong or weak. A strong branch is great, a weak branch is just another lesson - you'll always find another one.

Inner steadiness is life's greatest security

There are diseases money can't cure, relationships money can't restore, and losses money can't undo. The only thing that makes life bearable is an inner steadiness - the quiet confidence that you can handle whatever life brings.

What you're actually looking for is you.

Every extreme has an abyss

There's an abyss at rock bottom - and there's an abyss at the top.

Nothing material can satisfy you

It's a terrifying moment when you realize that nothing material can truly satisfy you.

The clifftop is as dangerous as rock bottom

Rock bottom isn't the only abyss. There's also a clifftop - when you've achieved everything the material world can offer and realize it still isn't enough.

More money, different problems

Beyond a certain level of wealth, you don't have fewer problems - you have different ones.

Wealth changes relationships

Once you have enough money to change people's lives, money becomes all many people can think about. Wealth changes relationships.

Money can't buy happiness

Money doesn't buy happiness. In fact, beyond a certain point, it can buy misery.

Master your greatest strength

Sometimes what you're good at is different from what you love. I chose to master what I was best at, and the money came behind the mastery.

Success is never built alone

Whatever you build, you'll need hundreds - if not thousands - of other people to help you build it.

Everyone is part of your future

Every person you meet becomes part of the tapestry of your future.

Everything is relationships

It's all relationships. You never know who someone will become or how your paths will cross again.

One day you'll come back

My grandmother told me, "Everywhere you go, one day you're going to have to go back."

Trust your own path

Sometimes the best advice is simply: keep doing what you're doing. No one else has lived your path.

Observe more, ask less

As you grow, you ask for advice less. You watch, you listen, and you let people's behavior tell you what they really think.

No one can live your life

Everybody knows what they know, and only they can know what's right for them. Nobody can truly know what's right for you.

Be careful who you listen to

Listening to people who haven’t done what you want to do, and ingesting the poison of their ignorant opinion, is what makes you lose clarity and go crazy.

Learn from those who’ve done it

Taking advice from someone who hasn’t done what you want to do is almost insanity.

Confidence Is Comfort with Failure

The comfort to fail in front of people is what is perceived as confidence.

Confidence is built by not being scared to look stupid.
