I have days when I feel out of place and lost without knowing what I need to do. When I am in that moment, my inner being says to me, "find some little inspiration on Google." I'm usually hesitant and don't know where to start but I find that Oprah Winfrey comes to mind all the time, so I listen to her. I grew up watching Oprah's show and most of the episodes were very inspirational. Watching her now as wise as ever, I get to learn more about the 'self'. The interviews she has with people who are discovering their purpose in life are actually helping me a lot in dealing with a lot of things in my life. I watched this video and jotted the following things that she said. I'll call them the Oprah's 15 ways of understanding life:
- My definition of luck is preparation meeting the moment of opportunity
- I took Martin Luther King at his word and understand the content of other people’s character.
- Be your presence to yourself, your connection to yourself and that which is greater than yourself.
- Take the time to know who you are and why you are here.
- Every human has a call.
- There is a supreme and innate moment of destiny for everyone.
- We are seeking to fulfill the highest, truest expression of ourselves.
- Your life is your greatest teacher; everything that happens in your life tries to bring you
closer to your inner being. - When the personality comes to serve the energy of your soul that is authentic empowerment.
- Align your personality with your purpose.
- There are no mistakes because you have a supreme destiny; your job is to feel that, to hear that, to know that.
- Failure is that thing that is trying to move you to another direction.
- You get much from your loses as you do from your victories because the loses are there to wake you up.
- The way through the challenge is to get still and ask yourself what is the next right move.
- If you have the desire, the universe will rise up to meet you exactly where you are.
