In the second installment of her just released 'mini-art feature' video Queen B declares 'Nothing feels like my child singing "mummy". No, nothing feels like when I look my husband in the eyes, nothing feels like when I'm respected, when I get on the stage and I see I'm changing peoples lives.'
During the less than five minute clip, the 32-year-old superstar insists her message with her new 'viisual album' was 'finding the beauty in imperfection' and that she is now all about putting more love, happiness and fun in her life.

Alongside rare clips of herself performing as a teenager prior to her big break with Destiny's Child during the video, Beyonce confesses: 'I had this image of this trophy and me accepting these awards and kind of training myself to be a champion and at the end of the day when you go through all of these things, is it worth it?
She ponders: 'I mean, you get this trophy and you're like, 'I basically starved, I have neglected all the people that I love, I've conformed to what everybody else thinks I should be and I have this trophy. What does that mean?'
The trophy represents all of the sacrifices she made as a kid, Beyonce explains, and all the time she lost being on the road and in the studios as a child.
'I just want to throw that s**t up!' she exclaims.
'I have a lot of awards and I have a lot of these things that are amazing and I worked my ass off, I worked harder than probably everybody I know to get those things.'
Hard working girl! The video also features one of Beyonce's earliest performance (she's in the bright yellow)

None of that, however, compares to the joy she receives from daughter BlUE Ivy and husband Jay-Z.
'Those are the things that matter,' Beyonce declares emphatically, 'and at this point in my life that's what I'm striving for - growth, love, happiness, fun.'
As for what message she is trying to impart? 'Enjoy your life - its short,' she insists, 'that's the message!'
Who runs the world? Love does, according to Beyonce
One of the constant themes in B's new video is how winning competitions is not the true road to happiness
The second part of her new self-titled 'visual album', as she calls it, has the title of 'Imperfection'. And, yes, there is a Part 3 still to come.
Meanwhile Beyonce’s new self-titled album, which debuted in the Official Albums Chart Top 5 at #5, features collaborations with Drake, Frank Ocean husband, Jay Z, and her beloved one-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
Nearly 68,000 copies of Beyonce's album were purchased in the UK during only 48 hours on sale, having been released on Friday the 13th.
