People!!!! ...Oprah was in arms distance, and I was all eyes and ears!!!

This is the 2nd time I've been able to witness her in the flesh and both times have been life changing.   She certainly exudes joy and imparts others to spread the good stuff around.  Oprah states openly that to share what you’ve discovered is one of life’s greatest joys. 

So, in kind…   

Here are some of my favorite Oprah take a ways.....

1.  You are NOT waiting on life, Life is waiting on YOU!!!

That’s right sweet souls.   The universe has such amazing plans for you.   There is no thing you are waiting on.  The time is NOW.  All you have to do is step into the gifts that await you.   Don’t wait another day.   Believe it.  Trust it.  A.S.A.P.

2. You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you intend. 

Be clear.  Be certain.  Don’t minimize your dreams. Trust your instincts and claim all you desire! 

3.  Be so full of yourself that you overflow, and are able to give freely to others.

Yup, self-care/self-love is the LEAST selfish thing you can give to yourself.   If you desire to make this world a better place and help in any way… then start loving on yourself so much that you fill up with such joy and peace that readily overflows to others.   

Start listening to your deepest needs and honor them.  Take a bubble bath, spend time in nature, listen to your favorite music…do all things that feel restorative and revitalizing.   We need your love in full force.  Fuel yourself up!   ….then get back out there.   We need YOU! 

4.  Know how to mind your own business and know what’s your business to mind.What other people think of you is NOT your business.  What other people are doing or not doing is NOT your business.   Stop comparing yourself and trying to become a better version of someone else when you were born to be uniquely YOU!   

5.  Watching you BE your authentic self gives me permission to be my authentic self. 

We all desire to be free enough to embrace our true self.   Be brave for you and for all around you.  Together we can celebrate our individuality.   

Lastly….There is no life without a spiritual life

Amen!   Get on your knees and look for miracles.   KNOW that you are supported and held by a force greater than you.   And at the end of the day, be grateful.  

A thought I had after this miraculous day with Oprah at her 2020 Vision Tour was this.  Sometimes we hear things that we already know.   However, knowing it doesn’t mean we embody and become it.    

We all know we “should” be kind and generous and truthful.  But that doesn’t always mean we are. Possibly explore some of these take a ways and implement them in an impactful way.   

Make an action to move the needle on your own life.   You got this!
