Oprah’s wisdom

Here are some of the lessons Oprah Winfrey has learned so far:

Every event happens as an opportunity to choose love over fear.

I don’t think of myself as a poor, deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who, from an early age, knew I was responsible for myself, so I had to make good!

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Integrity

Real integrity is about doing the right thing, and knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.

The point of being alive is to evolve into the person you were intended to be.

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

Everything happens for a reason, even if we aren’t wise enough to see it.

One of the hardest things to learn in life is to know which bridges to cross—and which ones to burn!

If the only prayer you said was, “Thank you,” that would be enough.

Each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint. The best way to succeed is to discover what you love, then find a way to offer it to serve others.

We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

You are responsible for your life. You can’t keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction!
