The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do even if you weren't paid. Once you tune out the noise of your life and hear that call, you face the biggest challenge of all: to find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.
When you focus on what you have, your ABUNDANCE increases. I started with my breath. Noticing being alive is a good start!
I've been stopped cold from eating another burger!
I know that I am more than my personality, my body, and my body image.
I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.
My constant focus is on being better. Should I be doing multimedia video production? Or seminars on the Internet? How can I do what I'm already doing in a more forceful way?
If I say, 'Oh nice,' about seven times in the same show, things aren't going well.
It has become harder and harder to find books on a monthly basis that I feel absolutely compelled to share, .. I will continue featuring books on the 'Oprah Winfrey Show' when I feel they merit my heartfelt recommendation.
Honour the difficult.
I make sure to use my life for that which can be of goodwill. It has fortified me spiritually and emotionally
Often intuition will direct you. If it feels right, it's probably right.
Intent and service-that is my motto.
Be loving to yourself and others will see that love reciprocated. This rule works every time
Let not one single life have passed in vain. What really matters is who you love and how you love.
Have a similar outlook as a monarch. A ruler is not reluctant to come up short. Disappointment is an alternate steppingstone to significance.
I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.
Your gut is your inner compass.
Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge.
I really believe when you give to other people, you give to yourself.
Transforma as tuas feridas em sabedoria!
When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that's all there was.
We need to deprogram ourselves. I know for sure that you can't give what you don't have. If you allow yourself to be depleted to the point where your emotional and spiritual tank is empty and you're running on fumes of habit, everybody loses. Especially you.
I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.
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.
I truly believe that a woman can have anything she wants - if she's willing to do the hard work it takes to get it.
