"But I feel like it's the way you handle things, you never know," she continued."You're gonna be blessed. You got to ask for the blessings. You got to keep engaged. That's how I believe. That's how I live my life. I'm getting better at it. It's something you have to work on. It's like a spiritual exercise every single day."
Hoda Kotb said that was the most beautiful sentiment, before asking Stefani how she has stayed open to life experiences despite trying circumstances in her past, like her"I had all those fetal positions for a while," Stefani recalled."I know that everything that happens in my life isn't happening in time with what people see. That's what people forget, although we are close to that these days with the Internet and the platforms that we all have.
"For me, I was turning to my faith right away. That was a seed that my mom planted in me when I was a little girl ... it's a journey. It's almost like you get lost, it's like you get lost on your journey. We all do and we all will and I will again at some point I'm sure."Stefani added that some advice from Pharrell, her friend and fellow judge on"The Voice," really made a profound impact on her.
"He said to me, 'Once you open your eyes and you start looking, you will see,'" she said."I know that sounds kind of vague but it was so real for me. I just started to focus on, 'What is real? What is the truth? What is my purpose? What am I doing here?'" It was after she asked herself those questions that she reflected on her own heartache, and how she may be able to help others by doing what she does best: making music.I just said to myself, 'This is happening to me for a purpose ... a reason.' I tried to go right into the studio. I knew that was the only thing I know how to do good, is write songs and I wrote the 'Truth' record," Stefani added, referring to her 2016 album"This Is What the Truth Feels Like.
Her faith in what?
