Being still at least once a day will enhance your life.
If you can see it, and believe it, it is a LOT easier to achieve it
I can't imagine I could have become the person I am now without books. Books became synonymous with freedom. They showed that you could open doors and walk through.
There's a surge, there's a kind of energy field that says, 'I'm in my groove, I'm in my groove.' and nobody has to tell you, 'You go, girl,' because you know you're already gone.
I grew up in the country, which is probably why I'm so attached to the land. I love it. I love the lay of the land. I love walking the land. And I love knowing that it's my land.
Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age. What are you saving your best self for?
You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.
To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.
Don't put a ceiling on yourself.
I am guided by the vision of what I believe this show can be. Originally our goal was to uplift, enlighten, encourage and entertain through the medium of television. Now, our mission statement for The Oprah Winfrey Show is to use television to transform people's lives, to make viewers see themselves differently and to bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment into every home.
You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, 'You can't.' Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does, you can keep going forward.
You aren't your past, you are probability of your future.
I pray to be used in service to a greater purpose higher than my own
I believe in the power that not only allows the sun to rise but turns seeds into flowers and dreams into realities.
