I stumbled across this video the other day while I was doing some research on Will Smith and his involvement with the film “The Pursuit of Happyness”. As it turns out, Will is very much a thoughtful and well-intended man. He leads a life full of purpose, dedication, and innovation. His words of wisdom were inspiring to me and I wanted to share them with you all, please pass the video along if it resonates with you in some way.
Leave some comments on what really hit you the most after watching Will’s Wisdom.

Hey Clay!
I watched this from Kyle Riegle’s post on facebook after I got back from Coronado. I Loved the whole positive experience that I went through in SD! Watching this resonated with me SOO much! I actually had watery eyes…I felt so emotional…in a good way. And it was from all the positive energy that I soaked up from gaining new friends and meeting Jonathan, Mark, Katie, and Aaron.
In addition, reading “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle has made me more of a concious being.
So watching this made even more sense to me and hit home 100%. If you haven’t picked up that book yet…go out and get it. I was inspired by Katie and Jonathan to read it… It has truly changed how I look at Life.
What hit me the most watching this video was the part when Will and his brother rebuilt the wall of their father’s business. I relate it to my business….I’m laying it one brick at a time. “I’m gonna lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You do that ever single day, and soon you will have a wall.”
That’s what Will says…
Can’t wait to build my wall and help others build theirs, too!
AND…I also LOVED the end of the video from Will’s movie ‘Pursuit of Happiness’
I literally had tears on that one.
Thanks for this post, Clay!!
I’ll never get tired of watching it.

AWESOME stuff!!! How simple yet deep at the same time. I love it!
Clay,
I have so much to learn. I have always believed all of the things that Will Smith is saying in this video… putting them into practice has been my biggest challenge.
I dare say this is a challenge to most mere mortals, but the interesting thing in my case is that I was brought up to believe that we are immortal! I was raised in the faith of Christian Science, founded by Mary Baker Eddy. To those of this persuasion, Mrs. Eddy’s book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” is her most important collection of writings. It contains many references to the science of Mind, the same principals, according to her interpretation which were practiced by Jesus, Peter, Paul, Moses, Ezekial, and others throughout both Biblical Testaments. This “Science” is that which powerful people know, and perhaps in some cases actually DON’T know that they are manifesting their intent through!
I’m not here to tout a religion, but to point out a link to our inheritance as Human Beings… we are immortal in this universe, and with gratitude to our Higher “Source”, we can effect our own reality and move harmonically within this infinite Spiritual universe!
Thank you for your “rock” solid presence, and know that you and your example are appreciated. I look forward to your wisdom and guidance in my future as a networking entrepreneur and creator of a positive and meaningful example to the Universe which I’m sharing Life with!
