Know that good health and fitness affect your professional life.
In order to be prepared for the rigorous schedule that her career demands, Beyonce has made a commitment to working out and a proper diet. She says, “The truth is, it’s a lot of sacrifices. It’s more about your mental strength than physical strength. You have to push yourself. It doesn’t matter what trainer you have. And it doesn’t matter what program you’re on. You have to be healthy and make the right choices.” Her workout regimen consists of alternating between sprinting and running on the treadmill as well as squats, lunges, and planks. Her diet includes salads for lunch, a lite dinner, and Sundays as a cheat day.
I can only hope that the striking parallels between Ms. Knowles’ story and Whitney Houston’s will end soon.
Both women started as startlingly talented, beautiful and sweet. Both had Christian upbringings with roots in gospel. Both uncharacteristally married successful “bad boy” musicians. And, like Ms. Houston, it seems Beyonce’s persona is slowly changing to that of a spoiled diva living in her own universe.
Time will tell if Beyonce writes her own history or follows the path that appears to have been laid out for her.
