J.Lo: I give it heart & soul PASSION HELPED HER REACH TOP IN POP

This week J.Lo had a career high when she performed at US President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

But she started her career as the underdog.

She said: “I think you have to strive to be the best, but you don’t have to be the best to have success. You just have to not give up and keep going. Striving is part of the secret.

“I started as a dancer and wasn’t the best – I was great but not the best.

“But I knew from the beginning if I put something extra into it, if I put heart and soul into each move, I could affect people. “What matters is connecting and passion.” From a young age,

J.Lo had to teach herself that she would succeed. She explained: “The most important thing is the words you tell yourself.

“I tell this to my kids – the words you say can become your reality. If you say you’re a loser, you will be a f***ing loser.”

After Lopez rocked last year’s Super Bowl the entertainment industry came to a halt, but the pandemic hasn’t all been bad for J.Lo. The recently engaged star said: “One of the blessings of

2020 is we had a moment of pause. “We could look inward to take stock of priorities and what is important – our family, our kids, who you are and who you want to be when it all comes back.” One way of getting over the

Covid-19 crisis was by launching her J.Lo beauty range over New Year.

She said: “January 1 was symbolic of new beginnings. “I believe 2021 can bring change and healing. My dream is together we can make a more unified, loving world. “I want to inspire people, and in these times when we can feel lost I want to give some hope and direction.”
