Words of Wisdom from Oprah

Yesterday was Oprah's final episode of her 25 years on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." She taped 4,561 shows and never missed a day in 25 years. In the beginning she started and just "wanted to do a good job and cause no harm."

Like many people all across the word, I had to see her final three episodes. Wow. What a legacy she leaves. Here are a few Words of Wisdom or 'takeaways' from the final episode which she stated was her "love letter to us."

• Find your calling. "A calling lights you up and lets you know that you are exactly where you are suppose to be, doing exactly what you are suppose to do."
• "Live from the heart of yourself & illuminate the world."
• "Help somebody-listen-forgive-heal-the power is the same-everyone has a calling"
• "Don't be confused on fame vs. service
• "Don't waste anymore time. Start embracing the life that is calling and use your life to serve the world."
• "No body but you are responsible for your own life."
• "Life = Energy"
• "When you understand that you are responsible for your life, you get free."
• A common thread that runs is unworthiness. "There is a difference thinking you deserve to be happy, and knowing that you are worthy of happiness." We are all worthy of happiness.
• "We are worthy because we were born and are here."
• "You alone are enough" {to change the world.}
• Tell others: "I see you. I hear you. What you say matters. Everyone wants to be heard and feel validated."
• "Nothing but the hand of God has made this possible for me....Grace will work at every step of life....Feel the presence of God- Be still and know it. God is speaking to you and waiting for you to hear it.... God is love. God is life. Life always speaks to us."

-Oprah Winfrey

She ended by saying: "Your life is speaking to you- what is it saying?"
