In honor of the recent end of the On The Run Tour, I thought I would share my top 10 favorite Beyoncé quotes.
Yoncé is an icon for a reason (and this is why we all love her). She is a supreme performer (unmatched in my eyes), phenomenal singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, feminist, and also an all around amazing confident and intelligent woman.
The world watched as Beyoncé developed right in front of their very eyes. This extremely talented young girl from Houston, Texas grew into Beyoncé Knowles from Destiny's Child then into Sasha Fierce and now most recently into Yoncé all the while remaining Queen B. Because of her growth in the spotlight, Beyoncé's knowledge of the world is fascinating.
After being a fan of her for as long as I can remember, I decided to watch her documentary Life Is But A Dream. This documentary changed the way I view a lot of things in life, and yes, I know that sounds cheesy (watch it and then you will see what I mean). The documentary shows a side of Beyoncé that will never be able to be shown in a 7 minute interview about her latest album or movie. The documentary goes deep into her life with honest long interviews or home filmed conversations that show a side of her no one had been able to completely see before. Her views on different aspects of life and music made me really think and reevaluate some of my views.
After the documentary I realized that if Beyoncé can achieve and conquer everything she has done and continues to do on a daily basis, then I can too (and what I have to do in my day is nothing compared to her). Since I admire her so much I looked up some of her past interviews. With these I gained even more of her great insight and knowledge of the world. Below are 10 quotes (more like life lessons) of hers that I think should be shared with others who haven't heard them before.
1. "Spread positivity; don't matter how big, or how small."
2. "Everyone is not supposed to be the same."
3. "I don't like to gamble, but if there is one thing I'm willing to bet on it's myself."
4. "You can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones."
5. "Let love and respect guide you and always be good to each other."
6. "Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are."
7. "I am not afraid to make a mistake. I embrace mistakes, they make you who you are."
8. "I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care."
9. "Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder. I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. I ask myself 'what are you gonna do about it?' I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me."
10. "Embrace your past, but live for now."
