Motivational Video

So I find myself watching this Beyoncé video nearly once a week.

I'm not even a big Beyoncé fan, in fact, I don't think I own a full album of hers.

But on the night of the 2010 Grammys, this performance gave me maximum, full body goosebumps and I was totally captivated. (Until my brother pointed out how much the female drummer looked like Rhianna and concluded that "she must have held a female band member audition, found the one who looked the absolute most like Rhianna and then given her the most degrading position in the band" briefly breaking my trance like captivity to ponder the undeniable likelyhood of this scenario)

She is 3 years older than me and has done more in her 29 years than I will ever do in my entire lifetime. (not that any of my life goals have ever included singing in an S&M inspired outfit, to a room full of legends, including husband Jay Z in the front row) But she had her own dream and she made that shit happen!

So when I am having those "wonder women" days, those days when I can't stop patting myself on the back for "straight taking care of BIDNESS!!!" (A phrase I may be heard yelling from my desk from time to time, usually after a few too many Tall, Starbucks House blends)
I use this video to knock myself off my over-sized pedestal and realize that I ain't taking care of nothing in comparison to some people.

Conversely, when I am having a self-pity-my-life-is-shit day, I pop it on for a quick jolt of stimulation.

So Beyoncé: (I know you reading this guuurrrl!!) As a thank you, I'm going send you a video of my boss busting me, mid finger waving...ear phones full blasting...getting my weekly hit of Beyonce style inspiration up in my office!

Guaranteed to keep you motivated to stay up where you are!!
