What Truly Makes Us Human 🤍

November 15, 2021

I’ve been reading Will Smith’s new book — or rather, listening to the audiobook — and I absolutely love it. Even though I’m not even halfway through yet, I can’t help but share how powerful it is…

In this book, Will Smith talks about the other side of success — his life, childhood traumas, fears, weaknesses, and the journey he’s walked. He examines himself and his life like an X-ray, openly revealing the defense mechanisms he used, how humor helped him survive, and what was really hiding behind his jokes and laughter…

It’s such a raw, authentic book — you see the real person behind the fame, with his very human stories and emotions.

Once I heard someone say: “The world doesn’t need more successful people; it needs more happy people.”
And I would add — the world also needs more honest, authentic people and open-hearted conversations about what lies beneath the surface: the fears, vulnerabilities, and insecurities we often hide because we think they make us “not enough.”

If we can learn to accept, love, and heal these parts within ourselves — and in each other — the world we live in would be completely different.

I believe it’s exactly the real, unguarded, and tender parts of us that unite us as human beings.
And when we learn to meet each other in that space — with acceptance, love, and support — we’ll need fewer defenses, and humanity as a whole will step into a new level of consciousness.

That’s the kind of world I’d love to live in. 🙏🏻🥰❤️✨
