"Our thoughts, our feelings, our ideas, are physical in the Universe. If we dream something, if we picture something, if we commit ourselves to it ... then that is a physical thrust to realization that we can put into the Universe." - Will Smith

"The universe is not a thing that's going to push us around. The world and people and situations are not going to push us around ... we are going to dare the universe and command ... DEMAND the universe to become what we want it to be." - Will Smith

"I was asked 'what is your preoccupation with happy endings? The tone of it was as if it was unrealistic. The question threw me ... because I feel like, the first thing is you have to believe it! You've got to believe that you can be married, happily, for 50 years, if you ever expect to be married happily for 50 years. You can't talk about how unrealistic it is to be married for 50 years and expect it to happen. It's unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch and lights come on. Fortunately Edison didn't think so. It's unrealistic to think you're gonna bend a piece of metal, and fly people over an ocean in that metal. That's unrealistic, but fortunately the wright brothers and others didn't believe that! It seems like such a ridiculous idea to me to embrace the idea that 'it's not going to happen, 'or 'that's not real for that to happen.' As soon as you say it, now you've just made that real!' - Will Smith

"When you acknowledge the obstacle, you actually give it power by the acknowledgement of it! I'm going to walk through it, I'm gonna walk over it, I'm gonna walk around it!" - Will Smith

"My preoccupation is with the power that we all possess individually ... and I refuse to relinquish our power ... so my preoccupation with a happy ending is that is our power. The belief in that possibility is our power ... and don't give it away to anybody!

"'You have to hate losing more than you love winning.' I think that's such an interesting idea and is so true. I hate losing. It is painful, I can't sleep, I'm sick to my stomach ... you know if I lose a game of chess online, it's excruciating!"

"Everything I do and everything I'm a part of has to have some kind of service to the people who are going to view it or be around it or experience it ... It's one of the ideas of America, that with having rights ... The yin to the yang of rights is responsibilities. You can't take all of your rights and then not live up to your responsibilities. I think that's been part of the problem with wall street and everything now, that they're going to take away all of their rights, but no one wants to live up to their responsibilities." - Will Smith 

"I have a great time with my life, and I wanna share it." - Will Smith

"I love living! I think that's infectious. It's something you can't fake." - Will Smith

"Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, elusive, god like feature that only the special among us will ever taste ... you know, 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, I know what I believe, and that's all I need to know! So, from there you do what you need to do. I think what happens is we make this situation more complex than it is.' - Will Smith

"We didn't grow up with the sense that where we were was where we're gonna be. We grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn't matter because we were becoming something greater.' - Will Smith

"The separation between talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, that want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beatin' on your craft." -- Will Smith

"I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. While the other guy's sleeping, I'm working. While the other guys eating, I'm working." - Will Smith

"There's no easy way around it, no matter how talented you are ... your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled. If you don't study, if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day, you 'll never be able to communicate with people your artistry the way that you want!" - Will Smith

"The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. You might have more talent then me ... you might be smarter then me ... but if we get on a treadmill together, there's two things: you're getting of first, or I'm gonna die! It's really that simple!" - Will Smith

One summer his Dad tore down a brick wall on the front of his business and told 12 year old Will and his 9 year old brother to rebuild it; a job they said was impossible. It took them a year and a half, but they did it.
"...And he said now don't you ever tell me there's something that you can't do!" - Will smith   

"You don't try to build a wall. You don't set out to build a wall! You don't say "I'm going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever been built. You don't start there. You say, "I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. And you do that every single day and soon you have a wall." - Will Smith

"It's an idea that my grandmother always had that if you're going to be here, then there's a necessity to make a difference. She always instilled the spiritual responsibility that you have to make every group you come in contact with better." - Will Smith
"I want to do good. I want the world to do better because I was here." - Will Smith
"I want my life, I want my work, I want my family to mean something. If you're not making someone else's life better than you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better." - Will Smith

"I want to represent an idea. I want to represent possibilities. I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want! One of my favorite books is the Alchemist ... Paulo Cohelo ... and I just believe that! I believe that I can create whatever I want to create!" - Will Smith 

"The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A." - Will Smith
"I think there's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years of history ... you have to believe that something different can happen." - Will Smith

"Confucius said, 'He who says he can't and he who says he can't are both usually right.'"- Will Smith

"Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What's the point of being realistic? I'm going to do it! It's done! It's already done. The second I decide it's done it's already done ... now we just gotta wait for ya'll to see!" - Will Smith

"It's unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch and the lights come on. Fortunately Edison didn't think so! It's unrealistic to think you're gonna bend a piece of metal and fly a bunch of people over an ocean. That's unrealistic! But fortunately the Wright Brothers didn't believe that ... and it seems like such a ridiculous idea to me to embrace the idea that it's not going to happen and that's not real for that to happen. As soon as you say it, now you just made it real!"

"Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas are physical in the Universe! If we dream something, if we picture something, if we commit ourselves to it ... that is a physical thrust towards realization that we can grip into the Universe. That the Universe is not a thing that's going to push us around.  That the world and people and situations are not going to push us around. That we are going to bend the universe and command and Demand that the Universe becomes what we want it to be." - Will Smith

"I study the patterns of the Universe." - Will Smith

"There's a redemptive power that making a choice has, you know rather than feeling like you're an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice! Just decide, what it's going to be, who you're gonna be, how you're gonna do it. Just decide! And from that point the Universe is going to get out of your way, it's like water.     It wants to move and go around stuff!" -- Will Smith

"You know there's a flow of the Universe that I've grown to know just how to go with it." - Will Smith

"I realize that to have the level of success that I want to have ... it's difficult to spread it out and do multiple things. It takes such a desperate, obsessive focus. You've really gotta focus with all of your fiber, and all of your heart, and all of your creativity." - Will Smith

"I'm motivated by fear. Fear of fear! I hate being scared to do something, and I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of. You can't be scared to die for the truth. The truth is the only thing that is always going to be constant." - Will Smith

"Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something! Not even me, alright? You got a dream? You've gotta protect it! People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it! You want something? Go get it. Period." - Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happiness.

"It has been the ... to be that guy that does what people say can't be done ... It started with trying to please my mother and grandmother. They always wanted higher and more for me. It got to the point that I wanted to be something ... I wanted to be somebody. It made me choose certain roles ... It made me turn down certain roles ... There is more than an image I want to project. I want to be the person that is the first person there ... and the last person to leave. That's who I want to be, because I think the road to success is through commitment, and through the strength to drive through that commitment when it gets hard; and it is going to get hard and you're going to want to quit sometimes ... but it will be colored by who you are, and more who you want to be. I definitely found that wanting to be an actor stemmed from wanting to be somebody and wanting to say something to people." -- Will Smith

I like the first quote of your article.It is very true that the things which we picture in our mind we can put them into physical.I would like to add that law of attraction is in short it is just based on rule"THOUGHTS BECOMES THINGS".And it really works.
