On his 50th birthday, actor Will Smith bungee jumped off the side of a helicopter into the Grand Canyon.
This is the “manifestation of a dream.”
Then, with crowds watching and cameras rolling, he pushed himself off, dove backwards with arms outstretched and had the time of his life.
During the jump he exclaimed, while sandwiched between the magnificent Grand Canyon and expansive clouds above, “This is gorgeous. This is gorgeous… This is some of the most beautiful stuff I’ve ever seen in my life… From pure terror to absolute bliss’
After the jump he surmised, “The hesitation is the only thing that really messes up the chance at having your dreams.”
Here’s his amazing jump. He shares his insights at the end of the video.
Will Smith was born on September 25th,1968, to a middle-class, Philadelphia family. Newsweek has called him “the most powerful actor in Hollywood.” He’s won four Grammy Awards and also was nominated for two Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards.
What’s the mindset of someone who creates a life like this? Read his quotes below. No limits for this man!
With gratitude,
Virginia
“I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want … I believe I can create whatever I want to create.”
“The first step before anyone else in the world believes it is you have to believe it.”
“The first step is you have to say that you can.”
“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. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”
“Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings & emotions.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.”
“Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, elusive, godlike feature that only the special among us will ever taste; it’s something that truly exists in all of us.”
“Life is lived on the edge.”
“You don’t try to build a wall. You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say I’m gonna build the biggest, baddest wall that’s ever been built. You say, I’m gonna lay this brick, as perfectly as a brick can be laid, and you do that every single day, and soon you have a wall. It’s difficult to take the first step when you look at how big the task is. The task is never huge to me, it’s always one brick.”
“I don’t know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.”
