She's a talented icon and mogul, but if there's one quality of hers that will stand the test of time, its her ability to inspire. In between the love songs and the breakup anthems are Beyonce lyrics that help us live as our best selves.

Of course, because she's Beyonce, the singer's video are just as inspirational.
