Will Smith certainly has a wealth of life lessons to share. And he so kindly did in his David Letterman episode.

“With that reality, how can you be here”: Will Smith Talks About the Real Pursuit of Happiness and Life

This year’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction was one of the best seasons of
the show so far. Every single guest that appeared on the show was as honest as
they could be. Every celebrity shared a part of themselves that viewers did not
know existed. But if there has to be a winner, then the Will Smith episode is
the undefeated champion.

The whole episode was a great blend of laughter and insight into the Academy
Award Winner’s life. He shared some of the most personal struggles he faced in
his life right from his childhood

He even let people know the secret to his rapping fame

But the most enlightening segment of his one-hour-long interview was at the end.
Just before ending the interview, Will shares the ideal way to live life. And we
want everyone to know what Will said.


THE HAPPIEST WAY TO LIVE LIFE ACCORDING TO WILL SMITH

In what can easily be called the most interesting episode of David Letterman’s
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/my-next-guest-needs-no-introduction/], Will Smith
talked about a lot of things. His episode was full of knowledge and personal
experiences that Will had learned over the years.

In the entire episode, Will shares something or the other that he picked up in
his three-decade-long career. But the most important lesson he shared was right
about at the end of his interview.

While Will and David Letterman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/david-letterman/]
are talking about the material gains of this world and how one can never be
fulfilled as long as their goals are materially based, Will shares one of the
most hard-hitting realities of life.

Will discusses how happiness and stability can only be achieved when an
individual understands that there is nothing in their hands. Everything is an
illusion except what they are going through at the present moment.

“You have to learn to live with reality. that any moment anything can be gone in
one second. So, with that reality, how can you be here?” articulates Will
