Beyonce-Claiming who she is, amazing

I watched the Beyonce special last night on HBO and to say this woman is an enigma is an understatement. I have to admit I had my reservations about her. Misunderstood her as many of us have. She seemed too perfect on the outside. Too much like a robot. But to see her portrayed in the light she was on the special was refreshing. Exciting and beautiful. This woman is talented beyond belief because she embodies her talent. Accepts who she is. Where she is. Why she is. Because she just is.

For someone so young, she really has experienced life more than people twice her age. She almost seems like an old soul in a very young body. A soul who came back for a reason. And that reason to me is to shed light on being open to receiving all the abundance, gifts and treasures the Universe has to offer without hiding from them. Without making excuses for why she is worthy of them.

Beyonce is living the breadth of her life. Challenging herself to be more every single day. Not complacent and not resting on her laurels. She realizes the talent she carries yet accepts her human vulnerabilities. Seeing her life in such a raw and unfiltered way made me grow to respect this woman. The reason why she is so talented and so great is because she has faith. And a belief system. She recognizes in order to receive, she must give.

In order to love she must be love. She recognizes life is challenging and will not be the same every day but if she gives as much as she can with gratitude she will always be on the receiving end.

I could feel her pain for the way her relationship with her father had to change in order for her to gain a father back rather than a man who was her manager and father too. She needed her father. Not a manager so she had the sense to realize she had to let one go in order to gain back what she needed. A very brave soul to be able to do so particularly at her age.

She let us in even more when she shared the pain of a miscarriage. Something no woman wants to experience. But she did and she got through it saying, 'My life is a journey. ... I had to go through my miscarriage, I believe I had to go through owning my company and managing myself ... ultimately your independence comes from knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself.”
Beyonce is someone that people love to hate and I saw for myself last night why. The reason why she is so hated is because she embodies so much of what they want. She is talented and accepts it. Doesn't shrink from it. And nor does she apologize for who she is.  She works hard for everything she has. She doesn't expect handouts. And she is rewarded for the dedication and work she  pours into her talent. Into herself.

For someone so young and for someone who was thrust into fame at such a young age, she has managed to resist the temptation of being over the top. Of being unbalanced because she surrounds herself with only people who want the best for her. She has no time for people that will create doubt in her mind about who she is. A lesson many of us can learn from because many of us attract people who will doubt us because we doubt ourselves and when these people confirm our doubts then we feel vindicated for not trying. For not being all we can because we falsely believe we are not worthy and if they say so, then it must be true.

It takes a strong person to know and accept the strengths, talents and gifts given to her by the Universe and an even stronger person to let the world see they have without shame or reservation. And that’s what Beyonce does. She is a woman. A real woman who is not afraid of her womanhood. Embraces her human vulnerabilities. Moves beyond her fear. Accepts her love. And lives her life. She embraces the good with the bad and goes for it as fully as she can. And she is amazing. Awe inspiring and woman. Beyonce. Wow.
