Korie Robertson says we should look at ourselves like we look at puzzles.
“Everybody knows the borders, like it’s the first thing you have to do, and if you don’t have that… If you try to just work from the middle, it’s impossible, but if I work from the outside in, somehow it just all comes together,” the DUCK DYNASTY star said in a social media video.
“So I was thinking that about life. It’s like sometimes you sit in your own head and like worry about things all the time [and] you just stay more inward, but if you look outside yourself and you actually start trying to help others and do things for other people everything just kind of comes together,” she continued, “and then you look up and all of a sudden your life is better, too.”
Robertson explained she sometimes gets stuck on a puzzle and walks away from it. When she comes back later, it seems like it’s a lot easier to figure out.

It’s like when we put “too much stress, too much looking at one problem. If you just like go take a walk, take a nap, go do something with friends, think about other things for a little bit, perhaps the solution will just reveal themselves. That’s what I learned from doing this jigsaw puzzle.”
The Robertson family’s new show, DUCK DYNASTY: THE REVIVAL, will return for a second season next month, A&E reported.
The family says the reason their show exists is to point people to God.
“I heard a speaker one time, he was talking about how it used to be like school, education, the church, the government, like all these kind of things had a similar kind of effect on people,” Robertson said recently. “He’s like, ‘Now, all these things are like tiny hills in the shadow of entertainment because of all the time we spend consuming entertainment today, podcasts and all of that.”
“And, so, that’s why our family — we never got out once we got in. We were like, ‘Wow, this is actually a means to point people to Jesus, and we need to be here,” she explained. “And there’s a lot of Christians that are scared of entertainment because there’s this perception of darkness.”
When they got started in entertainment in 2012, a lot of people told them not to do it because they thought they would go down troubled paths like other reality stars.
“‘You’re going to get divorced. Like what are you doing?’ It was like, ‘Don’t do it.’ And we were like, ‘No, we need to be in entertainment,’” Robertson said.
“If you think about television as we used to think about it, like there’s only 24 hours and everybody — ESPN’s competing with A&E, and they’re competing with ABC and CBS. And so you’ve got only so much [room],” her husband Willie Robertson added. “So, we looked at it like, ‘Well, most of its garbage or dark or just, you know,’ and so we thought, ‘If not us, who else will this be?’”
The Louisiana family has certainly made their mark in American culture — and it’s the better for it.
