In honor of our most favorite squirrelfriend, we present seven life lessons we’ve learned from Mama Ru.

1. Believe in yourself.

Biggest obstacle I ever faced was my own limited perception of myself — RuPaul (@RuPaul) April 30, 2014

2. Pursue your dreams.

“When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do.” – @RuPaul — RuPaul’s Drag Race (@RuPaulsDragRace) July 7, 2013

3. Pay attention to details.

4. Be as real as you can be.

My goal is to always come from a place of love, but sometimes I just have to break it down for a motherf%&ker — RuPaul (@RuPaul) March 4, 2011

5. Pay them bitches no mind.

…unless they’re paying your bills, of course.

6. Always keep an open mind.

AMENDED: Never remove your wig while performing, unless you’re wearing another wig underneath @RuPaulsDragRace — RuPaul (@RuPaul) March 12, 2013

7. Love yourself like no one else can.

Thanks for believing in us, Mama Ru! We hope you have a sickening birthday!
