How to be GREAT - Will Smith

Good morning, Believe Nation! If you want to do something great, great with your business, great with your life, I'm going to share with you an inspiring clip from Will Smith that I think you'll enjoy.

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. It's very simple. This is what I believe, and I'm willing to die for it. Period. It's that simple. I know who I am, and I know what I believe. I know who I am, I know what I believe. And that's all I need to know. And that's all I need to know. So from there, you do what you need to do. You know, and I think what happens is we make the situation more complex than it has to be. Because we're looking for complexity. There's got to be something complex to understand, right? It can't be that easy. We didn't grow up with the sense that where we were was where we were going to be. You know, we grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn't matter because we were becoming something greater.

So first off, Will Smith, he's a powerhouse. He's a motivator. I hope honestly one day that he runs for public office because I think he could do a lot of great for his country. What really struck me from that quote was really that last part where he's talking about where he grew up in his mind didn't have to be where he ended up. He aspired for greatness. He aspired for something way more than where he was at right now. And that's a problem for a lot of entrepreneurs because you spend so much time looking at what you have right now. You look at the money the money that's in your bank account right now, you look at the education that you might have right now, you look at the opportunities that are in front of you right now, you look at the people who are in your network and your circle of friends right now, and you think, you look at all this, you look at your bank account, you say, well, this is where I am now, how am I ever gonna go out and do something great in my life? How is that ever going to happen when you look at what you're doing right now? And as long as you hold that mindset, as long as you keep that environment, then you're never going to achieve anything great. You're always going to be locked down. The difference comes when you start to change your environment. If you want to do something great, if you want to be great, then you need to be surrounded by greatness. And that starts right now. What's in your office? What's in your house? Who are the people you hang out with? What are the videos you watch? What are the books you read? Surround yourself with greatness daily. You have to make it a regular practice. It can't just be something that you do once a week or once a month because you get that little spike, the little moment of boldness, that little spark of inspiration, you go off and you think you can do something and then you get smacked back down to reality because your environment doesn't support you. So where you are now has nothing to do with where you can go. The difference comes when you change your mindset and you change your environment. Believe. Thank you guys so much for watching.
