What I Learned: From Beyonce's Documentary

OMG - Have you guys seen HBO's Beyonce Documentary?!
I just watched it, and I basically just want to be her friend.
And by friend, I mean BE Beyonce.

She is the epitome of girl power, combining femininity with strength and control.
While certain of the doc's more artistic elements felt a little questionable, I freaking loved the whole thing. Nobody is cooler than Beyonce.
Nobody.
She's a goddess and I love her.
Here's what I learned:

• Women rule the world
• Trust yourself
• Life is beautiful
• There's no such thing as too many sequins
• There's no such thing as hair too big
• Be confident
• Politeness & Business don't mix
• I need to own a yacht & a sequin tuxedo jacket. Pronto. 
• Everything happens for a reason
• Do things on your own terms
• Take time to appreciate everything
• Fight for what you believe in
• Record everything
• Create Constantly
• Pour yourself into your art
• Women need to help & respect each other & stick together
• Don't compromise 
• Work your ass off
• Rock diva nails & hoop earrings
• Experimenting helps you grow
• Experiment with your hair
• Every kind of relationship requires serious communication
• Jumpsuits jumpsuits jumpsuits!
• Bling bling bling!
• Beyonce & I have the same laptop
• Respect people's privacy
• There's nothing like good girlfriends
• More is more
• Wear curlers during labor
• Be meticulous
• Miracles exist
• Your family is your core
• Life is a puzzle
• Make Bold Fashion Choices
• Manage yourself
• Jay-Z is adorable
• You need to do what's right for YOU
