Words of Wisdom from Tina Turner
Here are some of the most memorable quotes that Tina Turner said throughout her life:
On Beauty, Aging, and Self-Love:
“My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments… It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.”
“I like me very much. When I look in the mirror and my skin glows back at me, I think, ‘Wow, that sure is pretty.’ I have a simple, childlike view of life, and I want to keep it.”
“Fifty is the new 30. Seventy is the new 50. There are no rules that say you have to dress a certain way or be a certain way. We are living in exciting times for women.”
“You can’t get hung up on age or beauty because you’re then always chasing after something you’ll never get back.”
On Life, Strength, and Positivity in Life:
“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
“I’m self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person because I was not educated. But that was my dream – to have class.”
“Physical strength in a woman – that’s what I am.”
“At every moment, we always have a choice, even if it feels as if we don’t. Sometimes that choice may simply be to think a more positive thought.”
“People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realize it’s not what happens, but how you deal with it.”
“I believe that if you’ll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.”
“But I believe we have a higher level of mentality within us, but we have to use the power in the right way.”
On Religion and Legacy:
“I never close a door on any other religion. Most of the time, some part of it makes sense to me. I don’t believe everyone has to chant just because I chant. I believe all religion is about touching something inside of yourself.”
“In Buddhism, there are words you can say…as you say the words with rhythm the conscious tells the subconscious.”
“I am a practicing Buddhist. I have been for 25 years.”
“My legacy is that I stayed on course…from the beginning to the end because I believed in something inside of me. So my legacy is a person that strived for wanting it better and got it.”
Tina Turner will always be remembered as a music legend who inspired millions with her talent, strength, and positivity. Her words of wisdom will continue to guide many generations to come.
