You teach people how to treat you.
I've often called mothers the greatest spiritual teachers in the world.
Twenty minutes in the morning, 20 in the evening. Transcendental Meditation teachers have taught everyone in my company who wanted to learn how to meditate. The results have been awesome. Better sleep. Improved relationships with spouses, children, coworkers. Some people who once suffered migraines don't anymore. Greater productivity and creativity all around.
For the first time, I wasn't afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me.
After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.
Know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.
I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is.
When you learn, teach. When you get, give. Maya Angelou taught me that.
There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.
Failure is a great teacher and, if you are open to it, every mistake has a lesson to offer.
Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.
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.
