Jennifer Lynn Lopez, a.ka., our beloved JLo is celebrating her 50th birthday today, but can you even tell? It seems time stopped for this beauty 20 years ago. She’s an actress, dancer, singer, producer –basically there’s nothing that this woman can’t do! And with experience comes wisdom and she has that in abundance.
There are only few in this world that get to experience ‘stardom’, but most importantly, we’re all humans and go through similar things in life, even if the degrees of them may vary from each individual to another. We’ve all been through heartbreak, felt love, and doubted ourselves at some point. And in these times, inspiring words are our elixir. Turns out, Jennifer Lopez has a lot of them and we’ve some of them here for you to give you that push that all of us need at some stage or another.

7. It’s the messy parts that make us human, so we should embrace them too — pat ourselves on the back for getting through them rather than being angry for having gotten into them in the first place.

13. Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
14. I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life. I am kind of like that at home. Do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.
