Jennifer Lawrence today's one of the most confident talented and successful celebrities out there but that wasn't always the case when she was growing up she always felt like she didn't fit in she felt so different from her schoolmates so she started developing anxiety Jennifer also felt stupid all the time like something is wrong with her I just felt dumb especially in math I just feel like I would look around and everybody's getting it I'm like it made the only one that's completely clueless so the academic part of school was always a struggle for her but on top of that she also had a hard time finding friends so in her teens her anxiety got so serious that her parents found a therapist they wanted to help Jennifer overcome her anxiety and find a way to adapt at school like everybody else I went to see a shrink nothing worked one day I begged my parents to take me to a casting we went to New York and that's where I started acting just on stage my mother saw the change that was taking place in me she saw my anxieties disappear I finally found a way open the door to a universe that I understood that was good for me and made me happy because I felt capable whereas before I felt worthless I struggled through school I never felt very smart and when I'm reading this script and I feel like I know exactly what it would look like if somebody felt that way that was a whole part of my brain that I didn't even know existed something that I could be confident in and I didn't want to let it go so Jennifer Lawrence was only 14 years old when she dropped out of middle school to fully pursue her acting career I wanted to forge my own path I found what I wanted to do and I didn't want anything getting in the way of it but that was not an easy when she first moved to New York she lived in a horrible apartment with no kitchen no hot water and on top of that infested with rats she even shared her bread with them so if a rat ate a part of her bread she would just cut that part off and eat the rest because she was very poor and couldn't afford throwing the bread but today Jennifer Lawrence is the youngest person ever to be nominated four times for an Academy Award and she won an Oscar for Best Actress when she was just 22 her net worth is 130 million dollars which makes her one of the youngest and highest-paid actresses in the world so what can we learn from the motivational success story of Jennifer Lawrence I read this great quote everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid people can be good at something and bad at something else some people are great at math some people are great at sport and some are very artistic so you may spend your whole life thinking that you're not good enough not worthy enough and you develop this anxiety and fear that feeds those beliefs but that's not true you just haven't found your thing yet but when you find it work hard for it being good and passionate that something means nothing without hard work so stop feeling worthless stop feeling stupid stop feeling like a failure if you feel lost start your journey of discovering your true self your true abilities by trying new things and with the right mixture of passion focus and hard work in no time you'll see the world as a place filled with opportunities waiting for you you'll find the way home Mark Twain said the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and do you find out why so what's your story you
