Take it from Oprah
Some show biz people who give interviews try to be cute – calling attention to themselves and their lives. But there are those who speak to share important truths and practical realizations to help uplift others and be of service to them.
Oprah Winfrey has been speaking up on TV for many years and she has made a great impact on other people’s lives. Today we share with you some of the basic truths that have served as the foundation of her personal life and work – quotes that have to do with knowing one’s spiritual identity and accepting responsibility for one’s existence:
“As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you – the first time around.”
“If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.”
“It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within – that you can begin to take control.”
“My philosophy is that, not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”
Making a difference
“What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your life, but in other people’s lives as well.”
“We are each responsible for our own life – no other person is or can be.”
“With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.”
“What we are all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection.”
“Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.”
Oprah has achieved material wealth, fame and recognition. But the wisdom that guides her is that, deep within, we are individual spiritual beings who have a higher purpose for existence and that we are responsible for our lives. May these insights push us to a better and happier path in life!
