Dreams and Visioning

Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. The second I decide I’m going to do it, it’s done… it’s already done. As soon as you say it, now you just made that real.

Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas, are physical, in the universe. If we dream something, we picture something, we commit ourselves to it, that is a physical thrust towards realization that we can put into the universe… that the universe is not a thing that’s going to push us around. That the world and people and situations are not going to push us around. That we are going to bend the universe and we are going to command and demand that the universe become what we want it to be.

Fear – Will Smith Quotes

Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity Kitai. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story and that day mine changed.
~Will Smith as Cypher Raige, in the movie, After Earth

Focus – Will Smith Quotes

To have the level of success that I want to have, it’s difficult to spread it out and do multiple things. If it takes such a desperate, obsessive focus… you’ve really gotta focus with all of your fiber, all of your heart and creativity.

Talent and Skill

The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have talent, who want to do things. Talent, you have naturally. Skill, is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.
~Will Smith, actor, b.9/25/1968

I’ve never thought of myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. While the other guy’s sleeping, I’m working. While the other guy’s eating, I’m working.

There’s no easy way around it. No matter how talented you are, your talent is going to fail you if you’re not skilled. You know if you don’t study, if you don’t work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day, you’ll never be able to communicate with people with your artistry, the way that you want.
