The Glass Starts Empty Everyday-Now It’s Your Turn

Take 10 minutes and watch this clip of Will Smith’s best moments of the positivity he is well known for. If this doesn’t get you focused on the greatness of your own potential–well then watch it again!

What I’ve always found remarkable about Will Smith, is his almost unflinching belief in his ability. This is demonstrated here, but what is telling is that his belief does not seem founded in arrogance, but in a simple personal philosophy. “I know who I am. I know what I believe in. I am willing to die for it. It’s that simple.” Truly we complicate our lives by allowing others and their motivations to interfere with our path. Yet, when we achieve focus and confidence in who we are and what we believe in, the universe respects this and allows us to achieve personal greatness. The greatness that is of our own definition. Smith talks about the ability to focus on a goal as being essential, and I really love it when he says that having a plan B takes the focus away from plan A. Failure should not be an option.

It’s funny that many critique Smith by saying that his views are such because he has success. I say he has success because of his views. Are you willing to test the method? Focus. Believe. Stay as positive as you can, regardless of what others say. Take note in those who are negative only to note the misery that they bring on themselves. Everyday we have a choice as to what we will do with our life. The glass always starts empty and ready for the days experience of life. What will you fill it with?

A few books to help fill the glass:

Don Miguel Ruiz- The Four Agreements- Practical Personal Freedom
Paulo Coelho- The Alchemist
Pema Chodron- Taking the Leap-Freeing Ourselves From Old Habits and Fears
Norman Vincent Peale- The Power of Positive Thinking
