Make the right decision even when nobody's looking and you will always turn out okay.
The truth is I have from the very beginning listened to my instincts. All of my best decisions in life have come because I was attuned to what really felt like the next right move for me.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned recently is that when you don't know what to do, you should do nothing until you figure out what to do because a lot of times you feel like you are pressed against the wall, and you've got to make a decision. You never have to do anything. Don't know what to do? Do nothing.
Check your ego at the door and check your gut instead. Every right decision I have ever made has come from my gut. Every wrong decision I've made was the result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself
Nothing happens until you decide. Make a decision and watch your life move forward.
You want to make decisions that are meaningful to you, and that are going to continue to enhance you being who you really are and what your message to the world is, and everybody has one. The real important thing is to know what that message is and how you want to carry that forward.
I made the decision I will own my own show. So never again will I ever be told what I can and can not do.
Nothing happens until you decide.
I had been convinced that I should do the book because I was turning 40. Well, turning 40 doesn't mean that all of a sudden you know more than you did when you were 39 or 38, ... At the time, (canceling the book) was the hardest decision I had ever made.
I speak to millions every day, but it's different one-on-one when people have paid to hear you say something meaningful.
I've decided I will open the door to all books as potential Oprah's Book Club selections, ... I feel this will give the book club a whole new range of opportunities to explore the world through words.
I've been doing this a long time and people have made donations and they've been very kind, but no one has ever given our Angel Network $1 million.
These are women who, when I was growing up, made a difference for me. The first time I saw Diana Ross and the Supremes on the 'Ed Sullivan Show,' it changed my life.
