Believing even the negative things that happen in their lives have some purpose, these 5 stars have spoken about staying positive even when things don’t work out because it’s all a part of a bigger picture that they’ll understand better when they look back. Does everything happen for a reason? These 5 celebrities say yes!
Ashley Benson
Ashley feels that no matter what she faces, there’s a good reason for everything: “That was when I got told that I was too fat. I was just like, “Why am I even in this industry?” It’s just so depressing sometimes. But no matter what challenge you’re going through, if you’re having the worst day or the worst week or the worst year, everything that’s happening to you right now is happening for a reason that you will see in the future.”
Gwyneth thinks there’s a spiritual path for everyone: “I don’t believe in religion at all but it’s spiritual. I believe in a divine power and I believe that everything happens for a reason and if it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go.”
Khloe doesn’t let things get her down because she believes there’s something important at work: “I live for the moment. If you think too far in the future, you might get disappointed or set the bar too low. It sucks at times, but everything happens for a reason, no matter how sh#tty your circumstances are. To say where I want to be in 10 years…I have no idea. I just know that I want to be happy and smiling.”
After being cut from ‘Spiderman 2’, Shailene was upset but decided to move on because she saw that there must be some sense to it: “For a few hours it was literally like, ‘Oh, my God, was I awful? Why did they cut me? What are people going to think?’ I woke up the next morning and I was like, ‘O.K., it makes total sense.’ I’m a pretty spiritual person, so I can just sit back and trust that everything happens for a reason, even if my ego doesn’t like it.”
Stacy sees life as being about timing: “I’m so grateful for my life, my husband, the new baby on the way. Life is all about timing and everything happens for a reason. I literally wake up every day and say how grateful I am.”
