Will Smith is a man with so much dedication and passion for his work. People say that he has crazy work ethics and that he is very disciplined. But out of all those traits, his positive outlook in life is what makes him an amazing person.
For those who knew him in the ’90s, you probably picture him as the lovable and goofy hoodlum from the hit sitcom The Fresh Prince. Will Smith, now married and has two talented children, has left behind his old ways and is now an unexpected source of inspiration at the age of 45.
We have gathered below some of his inspirational and powerful quotes. Hopefully, these will aid you in whatever hardships you are experiencing right now.
“Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.”
Money is not the reason people act differently once they get rich. They act that way now because they’re finally showing who they really are.
“Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.”
Realistic expectations are pathways to achievements that have been acquired before. Grandiose ambitions lead to so much more, and it opens new doors. You can do anything you put your mind to.
“There are so many people who have lived and died before you. You will never have a new problem; you’re not going to ever have a new problem. Somebody wrote the answer down in a book somewhere.”
If you feel like you’re alone, just know that you’re not. All around the world, people have had the same experience that you have. Most of them have written their experience as well. Go ahead and scope out the information in their stories and turn them into your guide.

“We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.”
Money is a powerful tool, if used properly. Invest on what’s important and not on what’s hip and cool. Spend it on what you need, and save what’s left.
“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 you. And stay.”
Stop chasing after those who aren’t meant for you. Stop changing yourself just so people could like you. Show the world who you are; you’ll be attracting the right kind of people afterward.
“Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions.”
Don’t let talks of “gloom and doom” get you down. Don’t let other people’s negativity infect you and your life. Make a conscious decision to be successful and happy and ignore what is unnecessary.
“The first step is you have to say that you can.”
The outcome of your goal is parallel to your mind-set. If you think you’ll end up failing, chances are, you probably will. Believe in yourself first, then everything else will follow.
“If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you are wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other people’s lives better.”
Be selfless and be the miracle that the world needs. Be someone who aims to make the world a better place, and you’ll end up making your life better as well.

“Never underestimate the pain of a person because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”
You’re not the only one who has problems. Every person in the world has their own burdens to carry. Learn to respect and acknowledge their struggles and remind them that there are better days ahead.
“Throughout life, people will make you mad, disrespect you, and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”
Learn to let go of the anger you hold in your heart. Don’t let other people make you stoop down so low. Be calm and be positive.
“Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”

Chase your dreams and strive hard to make them true. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Don’t mind the people who are trying to hold you back, ignore them. You have your goal, go for it. Focus on your life and the path that you are pursuing. Continue your pursuit for happiness.
“Love is the ultimate theme, but it’s not just for women.”
Love is the ever-present emotion that each of us feels. It’s the strongest emotion, and it makes people do incredible things in the name of love. It’s not just meant for the opposite sex. Everything and everyone who can feel deserves to be enveloped with care.
“The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent, you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.”
Talent is a given thing, but skill is something you learn and earn. Even the most talented person can be defeated by someone who has spent hours and hours on practicing his craft. Your talent is your passion, and your skill is your discipline.
