Throwback to when Will Smith revealed how his kids Trey, Jaden, and Willow played a huge role in his outlook towards success.

&#8220;It Was Really My Kids”- How Did Willow Jaden and Trey Smith Change Father Will Smith&#8217;s Thinking on What Real Success Is

Do we really need to remind you about the legacy of Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/], one of Hollywood’s leading
stars? After all, one does not need to explain who he is, since even people with
barebones knowledge of cinema have heard his name, if nothing else. The Men In
Black star has cemented himself as one of the most bankable actors in our
generation. While Smith surely enjoys every luxury in the world, the actor still
has a peculiar way of looking at success.

Smith has always been a family man. The actor has established an image of being
all about his family and has championed them whenever he has a chance. At the
same time, Smith’s family has also been very supportive of him throughout his
career. Interestingly, Smith previously revealed how his children changed his
views on success.


SMITH CREDITED HIS CHILDREN FOR GIVING HIM A NEW OUTLOOK TOWARD SUCCESS

Back in 2021, the Oscar-winner sat down with Jay Shetty and the duo talked in
great detail about success. During the interview, the actor revealed how during
different phases of his life he had to choose between being nice or winning. The
star further explained how he spent a huge part of his life chasing
materialistic success. Furthermore, after repeatedly attaining material success,
Smith admitted he was not really happy, tempting him to question his mindset.



Despite breaking all the records with his films, Smith started to realize how
his family was miserable. He explained that his biggest mistake was equating
winning with happiness. However, it did not take him long to figure out the
right mindset. The actor revealed to Jay, “It was really my kids who brought me
out of that mindset.”

HE VISITED JAY SHETTY DURING ONE OF HIS LOWEST MOMENTS IN LIFE

The 2022 Oscars were perhaps one of the most life-changing years for Smith. The
actor hit an all-time low in both personal and his professional life. Not only
did he gather criticism from around the world, he was even banned from the
Oscars for 10 years. After almost a year following his ban, the King Richard
star met up with Jay Shetty.



Mirror reported that the Men In Black star, along with his family, visited the
professional life coach during their visit to Los Angeles. Shortly after, Shetty
even took to Instagram, where he shared a glimpse of himself with the star, Jada
Pinkett, Gammy Norris, and Lauren London at his ‘Love Rules’ show.
