Kick Butt Tip: Angelina Jolie Says Get Out Of the Box You’ve Been Raised In
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day comes from Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie. “If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is. You might never find out that you are useful for all the right reasons and not all of those stupid things that people tell you you’re useful for.”
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that had the perfect childhood or perfect teenage years or perfect years as a young adult or middle age or older.
We all have challenges. We just don’t know what type or when they will occur or what we will do to conquer the issue at hand.
So, as we go through our daily lives, just know that “stuff” happens. And then when that “stuff” happens, we happen! Whatever challenge comes our way, we handle it and then we move on.
I often say that we all get knocked down. We just don’t stay down.
In past interviews, Angelina Jolie has pulled the curtain back giving fans a glimpse into her past. Angelina’s childhood was happy for the most part. But, things changed when her teenage years rolled around. Drugs were an issue along depression, anorexia and even insomnia. In her early twenties, Angelina suffered a nervous breakdown.
After giving birth to her first child at age 26, Angelina decided to get her life on track. By her early thirties, she was the proud Mother of three kids. Today, six kids call Angelina Mom. She successfully adopted children from Vietnam, Cambodia and Ethiopia.
Jolie went on to a very successful movie career with Box Office hits like “Maleficent,” “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” “Wanted,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Salt” just to name a few.
Remember, God don’t make no junk. You are awesome! Now go be awesome.
