Will and Jada Smith Talk About their Quest for Blended Family Bliss
Sure they're beautiful, rich and talented... but what I think is truly admirable about Will and Jada Smith is their willingness to talk about how they've struggled to achieve blended family bliss.
The couple says they now see Will's ex-wife, Sheree, as their extended family (how COOL is that?!). They realized early on a good home life for Trey (Will and Sheree's son) meant embracing and loving his mom!
"Sheree and I both had to make that decision, because at the end of the day, we had Trey and that had to be the primary focus," said Jada. "So we had to put aside our own craziness, our stuff, all the baggage that comes with it." "She and I just had to focus on, 'What does he need?'."
I had to go back and read that quote a few times. How amazingly gracious of Sheree to forgive and move on and for Jada to welcome her husband's ex into their home. They realized they couldn't live a full life and achieve their full potential while harboring bitterness and resentment.
Once we all let that go, As Will, Jada and Sheree have beautifully illustrated, we can move forward and live our very best life... even if it is different than the one originally planned!
