I love how the chapter about him playing around in the Bahamas instead making his album is mirroring him have a good time in Dubai in stead of writing his book
This entire series so far makes me feel like I'm not alone in things I go through because Will has similar struggles too. That's the human experience. Many lessons here.
Usually, RU-vid is just on in the background, scrolling through subscriptions in my Peripheral. However sometimes you come across a video that is so personal, so inspiring, so well made that Im glued to its message. Yes Theories video when the traveled through Afghanistan was the last time i had that. And now this series, one by one. Looking forward to the next one!
He said 1980's and this is 2021 on RU-vid. Talk about keeping yourself relevant. Many stars refuse to reinvent themselves for the times meanwhile WILL is going head to head with today's Digital Influencers. This is an incredible series. Now we know why he is the star he is.
I don't see how it would be difficult to compete with "today's Digital Influencers" when you've amassed a worldwide fan base long before the Digital Media space even existed. Sure not all celebrities will translate into the space well, or even try for that matter, but it's not like Digital Media is solely consumed by the youth....
@@Jadebones It is mostly consumed by youth though. Will Smith is far from the only Hollywood star to have a youtubr channel but he seems to be the best at it.
This episode is deeply revealing, much more than the others. Will is simultaneously a man on an unyielding mission to better himself, his community and his family, and also a child needing constant entertainment and stimulus. It’s evocative and sobering. Thank you!
Several mind blowing moments. 🤯 Being in Will's inner circle must be quite the roller coaster. Glad we're getting to experience a tiny bit of what it's like.
The thing I absolutely love about this series is that Will is showing us his human side, and in working through this moment in his life, inspiring us that we can achieve just as much if we focus our own WILL power 🏆
Love #DrRamani, always teaching me something. That “Manic Defense” has always been my crutch. Just work harder, will harder, do better. I have broken down twice in my life when I life has gotten too much for me to rely on the manic defense. Now I’m working on peace, balance and swimming _WITH_ the tide, and not against it. Wow. #Revelation. 💡📖🕊
I really appreciate Will and his family for being vulnerable so that we can all stop putting celebrities up as gods. We are all human and all have to journey this life with struggles.
Lol, "stop putting celebrities up as gods" he has his own RU-vid channel. He has gained weight and look like any "normal"person so he has to make a series about him losing weight to prove he is more than just human. He has a whole team that works 24/7 just to make him reach his goals. He is writing an autobiography. He has a psychologist in this series to explain the force that is Will. Lol, there is no humility in any of this.
@@viola6926 I'm here cause of Ramani, the psychologist. She specializes in narcism. All the way through, she's trying to say, 'this dude is totally a narcissist' but can't say it out loud cause she's on the payroll.
Sooo the more I watch these, the more who you truly are comes in to focus. I kinda feel like all this time you had a mask that you wore, even with yourself. The declaration best shape of my life was also part of the mask. I dont think you thought about what this journey would do to you. Very few have seen you with your mask. As the weeks passed your mask started coming off. I watched the faces of your team and support, more than paid attention to you. It was clear they were seeing a Will they had never seen. I not sure I want to cry for you, It seemed so Painful. Thank you for sharing Will. I cant wait to listen to your book.
Maniac Defense; I see this. Being honest, I can tell that it takes someone who’s patient and disciplined, to work for Will (like climbing 160 stairs, on running tracks etc). He pushes you beyond your limits and that can be a good or a bad thing. Love you Will.
I just purchased his book "Will". I am truly inspired by his honesty and transformation. So many things I taken away over the years but laying one brick a day is what I have built my life on. Thank you for your accountability, your vulnerability, and inclusiveness with all. Your journey is an inspiration to me.
This went about like I expected. Some excessively rich prima donna, using his extensive wealth to hire a team of individuals, to lose weight in a over-produced puff piece.
Will, you've always been a hero to me. From the early days on Fresh Prince, to the Summertime and Miami records, to current day with the awesome movies you've created. Man, to see you as real and vulnerable in these episodes is actually encouraging to someone like me. It shows that you are special, but that I can be to. As long as I pick a motivation and a desired outcome and I bust my hind parts, it can happen for me. I'm a newly married youth/worship pastor who just finished college after 15 years of putting it off. I'm not going to become a teacher and subsequently a principal in the ISD that I graduated from in 2004. I'm 330lbs and I need to lose weight as well as get a masters degree..... I can and I will. I have 3 kids now with my marriage and I need to be the standard of a man for each of them as well as the partner my wife deserves..... I can and I will. I've got to live the life of a Christian leader that believes what he says and says what he believes before I can expect anyone to even begin to hear my message, the eternal message of Christs love...... I can and I will. Thank you for this series sir. Blessings as you continue to be a real life superhero to us "normal folks" out here in this world.
This was super touching! I'm a worship pastor in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've had similar struggles with my weight and eating disorders before I came to Christ. God has done a work of restoration in my spirit, followed by my heart and now completing it in my body as I work towards shedding the weight of the past. It absolutely IS possible, as He loves us all the same. May God bless you and keep you as you strive towards your life's purpose and goals!
This is one of the perks of having the means to go wherever you want in order to feel good, he just had to get out of the house to finally get in a good spirit to lose the weight he needed to lose. Not saying that this is what pushed people back, but being able to do it surely helps
Will inspires me so much. He gave me the courage to sing jazz. I recently wrote a song called “Chicago Nights” while visiting Chicago and experiencing a lot of frustration in my life. I released the video yesterday. Thank you Will. You inspire us all in many ways! Going to get the book neowwwww
He's looking great! Challenges come to everybody, Will is blessed with the right team and his right mental attitude, this is very inspirational, thanks again for sharing!
I love the culture of having a tribe, a system of reliance on other people, Will is demonstrating the importance of this beautiful culture. In life, people need one another to go through it as shown in this series.
This is the most amazing series I have ever watched about a famous person's life coz I don't watch them and couldn't care less! But this is amazing and powerful! I appreciate you Will and how you have shared you journey with us! I can't wait to get my order of your book and read it. Sending you love and best wishes in all you do! And by the way, thank you for shading light on our Mental wellbeing and how important our Mental health is without directly saying it. This is coming from a Mental Health clinician :) :)
Just restarted my fitness and personal growth journey. Your book finally came through and Im 5 chapters in. I had no idea that it would fall in line with my personal growth journey. Awesomeness
I can't wait for the next episode. I appreciate the transparency he gives to his audience... The struggle is real. No amount of fame separates one from the rest in the spiritual fight we all face
this made cry again the pain of life is so real. Thank you will because this is inspiring me beyond belief. I am going to get through my mental problems but I don't know where to start. I keep thinking just start but that's hard when you don't know what you want.
Being a CREATIVE is a hard life! I thought I was the only one who suffered from avoidance, procrastination, and spending tons of money in the process! This is how you inspire change by showing how your just as equally F’d up as the next person! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Commonality is fueling the fire of this series!
I usually never really comment but here it goes. Brilliant. Raw. Honest and truthful. thank you for letting the facade come down and letting us in. Thank you for allowing us to see you and have us do the same with ourselves.
It si but the timelines are not clear - it's cut from future scenes then back and fourth but the viewer is not given a clear guide that it's the case. Check Will's body with Khabib vs Will's body at 7 mins.
As a psychology major, I must say I really love this series for so many reasons and I'm so excited to read the new book! I started my weight loss journey in April 2021 and i've lost about 25 pounds so far with another 10-15 pounds to go! Really cool what you're doing will - a long time fan
Congrats! Took me two years, but I lost 150 pounds! If I can do it, I know everyone can! Keep pushing and don’t get frustrated when/if you plateau! Keep pushing that just means you’re almost there 🥰💜
@@NightsonBroadway haha yes I was 275 after having my daughter. They weren’t sure why I was packing on pounds so fast but I did! Took me two years to get it off, I can’t believe it came off either
Will, I have always appreciated your singing and acting skills and have followed your amazing career through all these many years. Many of your movies are my favorites. Now, I appreciate your honesty and integrity even more than I already have. You got this!
I don't think I've ever heard you say "Your done" before. You may work out, but you still carry more weight then anyone you know. Your the most incredible person I have ever grown up watching. Your words get me through my day. I hope you continue fighting for your self discipline. Good luck, we both got this.
When Will said in the video..(i didnt correlate my cravings, my generally erratic behavior with the wounded state of my heart. ) i was like...yes Will seems very Manic so far what i have seen....He is going from one thing to the next so fast and the book is having issues because he acctually has to sit down to get it done...
I’m loving this series! Being an author myself I understand the pressures of finishing those chapters and trying to stay healthy and balanced with a clear mind!🌺❤️
This series draws you in. When I saw it in my recommended videos, I said to myself I'll just view it for a few mins to see what its all about...I've just watched 3 episodes back to back.
WILL IS THAT DUDE- NO PRESSURE! YOU JUST DO YOU AND I RESPECT THAT SO MUCH- YOUR THAT FRIEND IN MY HEAD. I FEEL COMPELLED TO TELL YOU, FOR WHATEVER REASON- GREAT JOB AND EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE OK- WE LOVE YOU WILL 🙏🏾✌🏾💪🏾
You’re doing awesome Will🌺 fitness journeys are very humbling, personal and a growth project that we should all know in this life. I love that you are human and that you aren’t afraid to share your disappointment and your successes. We are all rooting for you. You are an amazing man in so many ways… not just for this. 💐 A giant “F” you to anyone who hates on anyone working to improve themselves in any form. You inspire me to stick to MY journey. 💫Thank you. 🙏🏽
Delusion can be a best friend when there are no words of encouragement and no wins that act as a template for what is possible. But delusion will only take you so far and then you must tackle the root of the delusions. It is both a blessing and a curse. But mostly a blessing for the most honestly reflective.
To climbing that building gave me vertigo just watching. You are amazing Will. I’m a young 51 loosing weight by exercise. It’s hard but I’m not giving up. Loving these episodes.
It would be great if we could have subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. This is so fantastic. People could be watching and learning... I know I'm... like A LOT
I always admire will but watching this made me admire him more, he Is so cool and such a down to earth person. I want to be an actress and I hope one day I will have the pleasure of working with him.
Yes!! A true Aries NN. Diving face in and taking the challenge like a leader. Leading by your own voice, your own deadlines, your own visions. Inspiring yourself through realizing you are responsible for yourself. Push the limits and take the risks!!!
I am a fan of Will since I was five years old and watched the Prince of bel-air for the first time! And oh my god, how many similarities in behavior we Have. All the patterns: To gain safety, to have control, building up a defense! ♥️ I am so proud of you, Will! You are a true inspiration for me. I actually need to stop the video every few minutes because it reminds me of my patterns! Living in your own imagination as a child…Well Yes!! I dreamed of being part of the Fresh prince family through my childhood…Wow, I can‘t wait for the book to arrive 🥺💙❤️ THANK YOU!!!
I´m in a dark place considering my life right now. A few months ago I was ready to give it all up. To end it. I forced myself to keep smiling and started to work out, learn the guitar again and to train my drawing skills. Nothing felt right. I half assed a lot of things in the hope of feeling better. My mind didn´t keep up with the change I was trying to force upon myself. Still I kept going. I made tons of mistakes along the way. Just started watching this show. Mr. Smith, you gave me hope, your words touched my heart and your words started to make my feelings of selfhatred and despair crumble. Thank you for the honesty. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feeling. I´m sure you helped a lot of people so far and I tell you... you might have saved a part of me I thought forever lost.
Why do therapists just take all your best qualities then explain how they're actually bad lmao "I'm a hard worker." "You work hard because you can't love anyone." I-
I wish I had his money and resources. But looking at his life makes me look a my own and I am grateful for what I have. This is a cool documentary put a lot of things in perspective. I hope he finds peace at the end of this he seems restless.
Love the concept that our mind needs a story. That is so true to me and I have heard someone put it that way, but it is through narrative that we learn and live. I also think of growth like a pendulum hanging from a string. If we keep balanced in our process the pendulum remains calm, but as we fight our predestined growth the pendulum swing in one way or the other. The more we fight it the wider it swings until one of those return swings slap us down and humble us into accepting the lesson we are fighting so hard NOT to learn. To me, that is what you spoke of in the last few minutes of this episode. Thanks again, Will and team.
Yo Beast how about after your squid game theme content cycle you do a weight loss biggest loser biggest winner type competition. I’d love to be a contestant. Best wishes!
This look into a portion of your life is truly humbling. We put this notion of perfection and lack of problems on the rich and famous and this just shows that we're all human. We all have our own personal demons and trials we have to overcome. Life's been tough these last few years for a lot of us and this, this is what we all need to see. Regardless of the money, we all need help and motivation and support.
