Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says that every woman undergoes a 'massive software upgrade' at the age of 40 and her own life saw a 'bunch of changes' at that age. The Oscar-winning actress said, "At 40, my life changed so much. I think every woman around that time gets this massive software upgrade. You're just different. You're upgraded."

The 43-year-old actress, who has two children with ex-husband Chris Martin, added, "For me there were just a bunch of changes I had to make, to really be true to myself and really live my happiness. And you have to be brave and make the choice to do that, to truly accept yourself and love yourself and really forgive yourself for your missteps. I wish they could teach girls to do this when they are 16 instead of 40, but that's part of life."
