He arrived with wife Jada and his kids Trey, Jaden and Willow in tow. They were then met by numerous family and friends. All gathered in support of his jump.
Smith recounted how as a child his family made a cross-country trip to the Grand Canyon. While his brothers and sisters boldly advanced to the edge, he stayed back, shackled by his fear.
“Fear keeps you from seeing beauty…” Smith explained. “I’m attacking anything I am scared of.”
The actor’s heli-bungee jump over the Grand Canyon was more than just a social media phenomenon, it was a master class on rejecting fear at every turn.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Live fearlessly.
