<\/p>\n

I love Will Smith. His movies are awesome. His acting is great and you know something? He’s an inspiring dude.<\/p>\n

He’s not just some celebrity. He’s a goldmine of inspiration and intelligence.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here are 9 quotes by Will Smith to inspire you to live life your own way<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u201cFear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That really puts fear in perspective eh?<\/p>\n

Just imagine that fear is a separate entity altogether. And then you can do anything you want with it.<\/p>\n

Mostly, just throw it away.<\/p>\n

2) “If you’re absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s the thing about people and so-called friends. So many people care not for your journey to success.<\/p>\n

They only see the success and what it can do for them.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The former aren’t doing you any favors. So chug them!<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u201cDon’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.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep! Be yourself. CHASE yourself!<\/p>\n

The rest, will take care of itself.<\/p>\n

4) \u00a0\u201cStop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings & emotions.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, these people don’t matter, at all.<\/p>\n

Focus on the other important ones instead.<\/p>\n

5) \u201cMoney & success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, don’t chase money and success. It doesn’t work that way.<\/p>\n

The money and success you eventually gain won’t change your life. It’ll only make it easier.<\/p>\n

So with that in mind, never doubt yourself. Be confident, even without the money or status.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u201cLife isn’t how many breaths you take, but it’s the moments that take your breath away.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because you shouldn’t just live to function.<\/p>\n

You should live to be excited, passionate, happy and of course, have tons of fun.<\/p>\n

There’s a time limit on those breaths by the way.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u201cToo many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is how people end up in debt.<\/p>\n

Stop trying to please everybody. You can’t. It’s impossible.<\/p>\n

Stop aiming to meet the expectations of others’. Only yours matter.<\/p>\n

And stop spending so much on luxuries. They can only make you happy for so long.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0\u201cThe 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. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You are getting off first. Or I am going to die. It’s that simple.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch this on YouTube in one of his interviews.<\/p>\n

This is to me is about simple confidence and determination.<\/p>\n

Forget being realistic or “faking it till you make it.”<\/p>\n

For once, psyche yourself. Just be.<\/p>\n

9) “If you’re not making someone’s life better, you’re wasting your time.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because way too many of us always chase things just for ourselves.<\/p>\n

That’s normal, but here’s the twist: Sometimes in life, if you want to feel better yourself, you just have to help others.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a time for all of us to look in the mirror.<\/p>\n
