Wisdom from Oprah, from the book:
"Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a 'yes' resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it."
"I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself."
"You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another."
"Become the change you want to see - those are words I live by."
"Partake of some of life's sweet pleasures. And yes, get comfortable with yourself."
"You are what you are by what you believe!"
"Don't live your life to please other people."
"Devote today to something so daring even you can't believe you're doing it."
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
"Your true passion should feel like breathing: it's that natural."
"Always continue the climb, It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it."
"If you believe you can only go so far, it is an obstacle."
"Pay attention to your feelings. The path to discovering why you are here is through your feelings."
"Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed."
"Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself."
"There's no such thing as failure. Mistakes happen in your life to bring into focus more clearly who you really are."
"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."
"I do not believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process."
"Failure is defined by our reaction to it."
"Triumph is just 'umph' added to 'try.'"
"Surround yourself only with people who are going to life you higher."
"My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with."
"When you give up on life, never give up on yourself, because there is so much for you to keep on giving."
"Don't back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for your beliefs builds self-confidence and self-esteem."
"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, and I had to make good."
"If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think."
"Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design."
"So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground."
"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."
"I was called to talk; to use my voice in some way."
"I believe that everyone is the keeper of a dream and by tuning in to one another's secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers."
"I knew there was a way out. I knew there was another kind of life because I had read about it. I knew there were other places, and there was another way of being."
"I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters."
"Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
