1.5 Hours of ULTIMATE Oprah Winfrey MOTIVATION!

Oprah Winfrey went from being born into
poverty in rural Mississippi to a
teenage single mother to becoming the
most influential woman in the world she
was the richest african-american of the
20th century and North America’s first
black multi-billionaire she’s currently
worth three billion dollars and takes a
salary of 75 million per year need
motivation watch the top 10 with Billy
Wilson what’s that belief nation it’s
Evan I believe in you and this channel
is designed to be a part of your daily
success routine so let’s get your
motivation to attend and have you
believing in you here’s my take on Oprah
Winfrey’s top 50 rules for success also
if you want to know what Oprah Winfrey
and other successful entrepreneurs have
to say about building unstoppable
confidence check out my 250 for
confidence series where every day for
the next 254 days I will send you a
morning video for free to help you build
your confidence the link to join is in
the description below key to success is
what you believe is true for yourself
your number one job is to become more of
yourself figure out where your power
base is
okay let’s kick it off with rule number
one understand the right next move the
way through the challenge is to get
still and ask yourself what is the next
right move not think about oh I got all
of this stuff what is the next right
move and then from that space make the
next right move and the next right move
and not to be overwhelmed by it because
you know your life is bigger than that
one moment you know you’re not defined
by what somebody says is a failure for
you because failure is just there to
point you in a different direction
rule number two seize your opportunity
nothing about my life is lucky nothing
a lot of grace a lot of blessings a lot
of divine order but I don’t believe in
luck
for me luck is preparation meeting the
moment of opportunity there is no luck
without you being prepared to handle
that moment of opportunity and so what I
would say for myself is is that because
of my hand in a hand and a force greater
than my own
I had been prepared in ways that I
didn’t even know I was being prepared
for and the truth is for me and for
every person every single thing that has
ever happened in your life is preparing
you for the moment that is to come
rule number three everyone makes
mistakes you don’t have to hold yourself
hostage to who you used to be or
anything you ever used to do coz who has
lived and hasn’t made mistakes when I
think about my 20s and what a foolish
girl I was and how I would give over my
power to men who really didn’t mean me
well but now I hold no grudges against
them either because I realized I’m the
one who gave over the power because I
didn’t know any better and now that I
know better I know I don’t have to do
that again it’s one of the most powerful
lessons any of us can ever know rule
number four worked on yourself I say to
the my girls all of the time that your
real work is to figure out where your
power base is and to work on the
alignment of your personality your gifts
that you have to give with the real
reason why you’re here that’s that’s the
number one thing you have to do is to
work on yourself and to fill your self
up and keep your cup full keep yourself
full now I used to be afraid of that I
used to be afraid particularly from
people who say oh she said she’s so full
of herself
she’s so close herself and now I embrace
it
III considered a compliment that I am
full of myself because you only when
you’re full I’m full I’m overflowing my
cup runneth over
I have so much I have so much to offer
and so much to give and I am not afraid
of honoring myself you know it’s
miraculous when you think about it
rule number five run the race as hard as
you can I would say to my team well it
doesn’t matter cuz every season somebody
else was coming out one talk shop to
shop to talk shows three structures
there have been over a hundred talk
shows since we started but every time I
would feel like alright got to step up
our game got to step up our game the way
you step up your game is not to worry
about the other guy in any situation
because you can’t control the other guy
you cannot control the other guy you
only have control over yourself so it’s
like running a race the energy that it
takes to look back and see where the
other guys are takes energy away from
you and if they’re too close
it scares you so that’s what I would say
to my team all the time don’t waste your
time in the race looking back to see
where the other guy is or what the other
guy is doing it’s not about the other
guy it’s about what can you do you just
need to run that race as hard as you can
you need to give it everything you’ve
got all the time for yourself rule
number six believe that grandmother was
made that’s all she ever knew the only
real expectation she held for me was
that I would one day become a maid and
in her words have some good white folks
meaning people who would not speak
negatively about me who would allow me
to take food home who would be good to
me would treat me with some level of
dignity and respect that was my
grandmother’s dream for me but I had
another dream for myself another more
than a dream I had a belief for myself
and I remember watching her hang out
clothes on a line one day and say to me
you have to watch me Oprah Gayle cuz one
day you’ll have to do this for yourself
and knowing inside myself that that was
not going to be my life don’t know how I
knew it
other than that thing that we all have
intuition or an instinct that said no
this will not be my life but because I
sensed that and was connected to that
and I remember was a very still moment
it was quiet and I was still and I was
watching her I could see her right now
with the clothes pins in her mouth and
putting them on the line and seeing the
breath because it was cold
the moisture coming from her lips and I
knew that that would not be my life I
knew that I will not be hanging clothes
on a line in a back yard in Mississippi
so I was either four or five years old
and that belief that that would not be
my life is what I held onto for the
longest of times I just no matter what
believed that there was something bigger
greater more for me rule number seven we
are all seeking the same thing I always
understood that there really was no
difference between me and the audience
at times I might have had better shoes
but at the core the core of what really
matters that we are the same you know
how I know that because all of us are
seeking the same thing you’re here at
this fabulous school and we’ll go out
into the world and each pursue based
upon what you believe your talents are
what your skills are maybe your gifts
are but you’re seeking the same thing
everybody wants to fulfill the highest
truest expression of yourself as a human
being that’s what you’re looking for the
highest truest expression of yourself as
a human being and because I understand
that I understand that if you’re working
in a bakery and that’s where you want to
be and that may be that may be what
you’ve always wanted to do is to bake
pies for people or bake cakes for people
or to offer your gift then then that’s
that’s for you and there’s no difference
between you and me except that
that’s your platform that’s your show
every day so my understanding of that
has allowed me to everyone to reach
everyone and and there’s no way that you
wouldn’t because that’s that’s what I
truly feel rule number eight find your
purpose a lot of people don’t know their
purpose and if you don’t know your
purpose your immediate goal is to figure
that out because otherwise you just
wandering around here so the moment you
can figure out what it is you’re
supposed to be doing
the sooner you are able to get about the
business of doing that rule number nine
stay grounded my life is fueled by my
being and the being fuels to doing so I
come from a centered place I come from a
focused place I come from compassion
it’s just it’s just my nature I come
from a willingness to understand and to
be understood and I come from wanting to
to to connect I mean the secret of that
show for 25 years is that people could
see themselves in me all over the world
they could see themselves in me and even
as I became more and more financially
successful which was a big surprise to
me I was like oh my you mean you got
more than that thirty thousand more than
thirty thousand by the time I was thirty
so
so my but what what I realized is
through the whole process because I’m
grounded in my own self that although I
could have more shoes my feet stayed on
the ground although I was wearing better
shoes he’s kind of cute today too so I
could keep my feet on the ground even
though I could get more shoes and I
could understand I could understand that
it really was because I was grounded
I’ve done the was doing and continue to
this day to do the consciousness work I
work at staying awake rule number ten
relax it’s gonna be okay dear beautiful
brown skin girl
[Music]
and I use the word beautiful because I
know that’s never a word you would call
yourself I look into your eyes and I see
the light and hope of myself in this
photo you’re just about to turn 20
posing outside the television station
where you were recently hired as a
reporter you look calm you look happy
but I know how scared you are if I could
say anything to you it would be relax
it’s gonna be okay girl rule number 11
be authentic
I think that success is a process and I
believe that my first Easter speech and
the Kosciusko Baptist Church at the age
of three and a half was was the
beginning and that every other speech
every other book I read every other time
I spoke in public was was a building
block so that by the time I first sat
down to audition in front of a
television camera and somebody says read
this what allows me to read it so
comfortably and be so at ease with
myself at that time was the fact that
I’d been doing in a while if I’d never
read a book like never spoken in public
before I would have been traumatized by
it so the fact that we went on the air
with The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1986
nationally and people say oh but you
should call you’re so comfortable in
from the camera you can be yourself well
it’s because I’ve been being myself
since I was 19 and I would not have I
would not have been able to be as
comfortable with myself had I not made
mistakes on the air and been allowed to
make mistakes on the air and understand
that it doesn’t matter you know I
there’s no such thing to me as an
embarrassing moment no such thing if I
tripped and fell if my bra strap showed
if my slip fell off if I fell flat on my
face there’s no such thing as an
embarrassing moment because I know that
there is not a moment that I could
possibly experience on the air that
somebody else hasn’t already
experience so when it happens you say oh
my slip fell off and it’s it’s no big
deal I mean like I was on TV the other
day and somebody says Oh over you have a
run have you not seen a run before in
your life
well I get them to let me tell you so I
mean this guy I can’t be embarrassed I
can’t be embarrassed now when I first
started out that was not true because I
was under think I was pretending to be
somebody I was not I was pretending to
be Barbara Walters so I’d go to a news
conference and I was more interested in
how I phrased the question and how
eloquent the question sounded as opposed
to listening to the answer I saw well
which always happens when you’re
interested in in impressing people
instead of doing what you’re supposed to
be doing and it took me a while it took
me messing up on the air on during a
live newscast I was doing a list of
foreign countries and I there was all
these foreign names and then Canada was
thrown in and I call Canada Canada and I
got so tickled that I called Kenna
I got that wasn’t come on now that was
Canada excuse me that wasn’t kind of
that was that wasn’t Kannada that was
Canada and then I started laughing well
it was it was it became a monk became
the first real moment I ever had and the
news director later said to me well if
you do that then you should just keep
going you shouldn’t correct yourself and
let people know I know well who’s ever
heard of Canada so that was for me the
beginning of realizing that oh you can
laugh at yourself and you can make a
mistake and it’s not the end of the
world you don’t have to be perfect and
biggest lesson for me for television
because then it didn’t matter didn’t
matter oh sorry bra strap showing rule
number 12 do it all what inspired me was
and is continues to be what continues to
inspire me is a primal and fundamental
desire to fulfill the highest expression
of myself as a human being I don’t want
to die not having completely burn out
every single possibility of my humanity
I just I just want to when I leave this
planet I want everybody said did that
used it all up
not another thing I could do there was
an another person I could have given of
myself to there wasn’t another deed I
could have done there wasn’t anything
that you just want it you want to say I
want to fill it up you want to take this
whole human existence which when you
think about it Godfrey is really pretty
damn miraculous but is it is when you
think about what it means to be a human
being on the planet Earth right now
that’s pretty awesome so I just want to
I want to I want to take that to the max
I want to say no need to come back as a
human angel status rule number 13 love
more I know you hate this phrase but
what is your brand do you think oh I’m
the love brand oh we all darling no the
love love brand you like to shower love
around and yeah it’s really that’s what
it is I am the love and love brand
that’s why I a bit like Barry White was
the love god you’re the love brand I’m
the love brand because ultimately
everything that I’m saying whether it’s
in my magazine whether it’s Gale on the
radio whether it’s the Oprah Winfrey
Show and now everything about the
channel own it’s about opening your
space your heart space so that you can
love more you know that’s really all
money is for money’s worth nothing if it
can’t buy you the opportunity to love
more rule number 14 always give your
best
you can’t call in sick you can’t ever
give less than 100% and if you are sick
which I have been a couple of times
that’s when you got to pull up to 110
120 because people have come from all
over the country and this is their
moment they’ve saved their money they
bought the airline tickets they got new
outfits they call their sisters or
cousins their aunts their
mother-in-law’s their mothers and that
is why they’re there to see you so I
feel a sense of responsibility a sense
of obligation a sense of respect
reverence honor for those people
rule number 50
you are what you believe first day I
went to school I was in a classroom by
the time I was uh you know 6 years old
didn’t go to school – I was 6 years old
because I lived my grandmother at that
time sure but she had taught me how to
read read the Bible Bible stories so I
went into the classroom knowing
Nicodemus Shadrach Meshach and Abednego
I could spell all of those words I
thought I was you know I was preaching
to the to my kindergarten teacher goba
she was like who is this girl so I was
never placed in an environment where I
was ever made to feel inferior I always
felt like I’m smartest kid in this room
and because I was never placed in it but
never put in a position where I was made
to feel less than I didn’t grow up
feeling less than you know and there is
that this day is history and the rest is
history and it’s all about what you
believe you know I say this too when I
do something on my network now call life
class the fundamental key to success is
what you believe is true for yourself
not what you want not what you desire is
what do you believe you know you can say
I wanted I want to be the most
successful person in the world but if
you believe that there’s a glass ceiling
and you’re gonna have a hard time
kicking through that glass ceiling
curiosity will be defined by the glass
ceiling and the great beauty and gift of
my life is that I was never defined by
the box that other people tried to put
me in
rule number 16 find your core self fame
comes with the mission and purpose you
know you cannot define me or try to put
me in a box and you can’t look at my
life unless you look at the whole life
so I am a Negro formerly born in 1954 in
Mississippi at a time when it was an
apartheid state and to be sitting here
with you as your first guest in 2011 is
a miracle
that is beyond anything I could actually
do for myself
so there’s something greater at work
here and the thing that’s greater at
work the force that has and forces that
have made this happen in my life along
with me working as hard as I have is
it’s bigger than it’s bigger than I am
and Fame is is the vehicle from which I
get to have this platform so do I like
that I appreciate it
if I had been what I thought I was going
to be and that is a great fourth grade
teacher I would have also like that
because at the core of me I am a teacher
and I am happiest when I feel that
people are getting something learning
something enhancing themselves in a way
that they never thought of before that’s
really truly one of my favorite moments
on television or in any experience when
I’m just one-on-one with a friend or
somebody I don’t even know being able to
share something with them and they think
I never thought of it she rule number 17
provide value Steadman and I were in a
hotel watching some bad television and I
was complaining about the state of
television talk shows in particular and
he said why don’t you change it why
don’t you just get your own network and
I thought that that was a ridiculous
idea and then he started to talk about
it and he wrote some things down and I
saw the word own at that Oh Oh W oh
that’s my those are my initials and I
said wouldn’t it be something if I could
create a network that was really about
mindful and I underlined the word
mindful television fifteen years later
those scribblings came closer to reality
when she was approached by David zasloff
the president of the Discovery Network
my view was if we want to do this you
have to be all in she paused and then
she said to me it’s meant to be and we
shook hands and that’s how our journey
began at first I thought great and
network all geez this is the dream I had
and I actually showed him the piece of
paper where I had written it down in
Steadman’s
and as that started to settle in with me
I thought whoa what is this
I’ve gotten myself into this is a lot
more work than I ever imagined are you
scared very scared I was very scared and
I would wake up in the middle of the
night literally go like clutching my
chest like what have I done what have I
done what if you fail hmm that’s what I
was afraid of that’s what I was afraid
of the reason why I made the decision to
go forward is because I believe that
people deserve to have value centered
inspirational programming for themselves
I believe that television has become in
many ways banal it has become insipid
and not ever not all of it but I think
that I have something to offer
rule number 18 don’t give up I did this
at the end of my show I did my favorite
guest of all times that’s hard to do
out of literally thousands and thousands
they I think they’re supposedly
estimated that there’s like 35,000
people I interviewed over the years but
there was one woman out of all the
celebrities out of all of the famous non
famous infamous people one woman who was
she her name is Tara Trent listen to the
story I’m gonna try to shorten it for
you got to it okay Tara right read born
and raised in a village in Zimbabwe 11
years old she’s doing her brother’s
homework she wants to go to school her
father says no yes yeah you have to
educate the boys yes that’s right what’s
the tradition that’s right the boy has
to go to school you can’t go to school
so she starts doing her brother’s
homework she does his brothers homework
he goes to school he gets all A’s on his
homework yet he doesn’t know the answer
to the question the teacher comes to the
village to say what is going on here
this boy doesn’t know the answers but
his homeworks perfect she finds out that
Tara his younger sister he’s doing his
homework she begs the father to let Tara
go to stroke school the father says no
she can’t go to school finally he
marries her off she marries at 11 and a
half years old she gets married she has
three children by the time she’s 18
years old a woman comes to the village
from an NGO heifer international and
asked what are your dreams this is gonna
make me cry
finally so what are your dreams this
child has never thought about what her
dreams were she says write down your
dreams she writes down her dreams on a
piece of paper and she folds him in a
tin can and she buries them under a rock
the first dream was to be able to go to
the school and you go to a school in the
United States of America and get a
college degree she ends up through some
miracle of the NGO going to the United
States she gets a college degree Wow
yes she gets a four-year degree in three
years Tara right Trent she goes back to
the rock in Zimbabwe she writes her next
goal on the piece of paper she buries it
under the rock she writes I want to get
a master’s degree she goes back to here
is 8 she got the master’s degree by this
time she now has five children she’s
married to a man who stood incredible
she goes back here and said she gets her
master’s degree after the master’s
degree she goes back to the rock in
Zimbabwe she writes down her final goal
is to get a doctorate degree and last
year she became dr. Tara Trent where did
you find it where did I find it I found
her in the in the Nicholas Kristof’s
book called something the sky underneath
the sky or the sky a nickel I found her
a Nicholas Kristof’s about heretical
mm-hmm and I was reading the story I had
Nicholas Kristof on the show Nicholas
Kristof the famous New York Times writer
and she wasn’t there she wasn’t a part
of the time reading the star I can’t
believe this book the story of this
woman as I’m reading the story so when
we go to do the show the producers have
Nicholas Kristof on they bring on other
guests but this woman isn’t there I go
how could you not have her there so we
tape another show with Nicholas
stop we go back I’d go fine we’re gonna
find that woman Tara right Trent this
time by this time she’s living in the
United States we followed her back to
Zimbabwe to the rock we pulled the tin
can from underneath the rock and that is
my favorite guest of all time and the
worst um I don’t have a worst I don’t
have a worse but the reason why she and
as I said this on my show the reason why
Tara ride Trent is my favorite guest of
all time is because she represents in
that one story of the little girl in a
village in Zimbabwe who had a dream and
the heart and depth and discipline to
pursue it she represents everything I
tried to say in every show in 25 years
she literally through her life story
sums up the message that I was trying to
give to every single one of my viewers
you can you can keep trying don’t give
up you have to believe you have to
believe
rule number 19 live in the now the thing
that I do best piers you didn’t ask me
that question Oprah what is it you do
best Oprah what is it you do best thing
that I that I I strive to do best is be
here be now right here right now with
you the reason why we’ve had such a good
time is cuz I’m not thinking about
somebody else is but I’m not thinking
about how much time do we have left and
how many questions you have and what are
you gonna ask me just be here be now so
that I can enjoy this experience and so
I don’t have a lot of I don’t live in
the past I don’t carry the past into
this moment cuz I do the Oprah show I
learned how not to do that
that’s what all of those years of non
therapy but paying attention to the
guests on the show the way they live
their lives what the experts had to say
what I’ve learned from paying attention
rule number 20 have fun
does she look like Oprah Winfrey to you
back yes
choose a look like yourself yeah thank
you beanie on and really staying in the
TV TV one but don’t tell anyone we’re
here
you’d be the PS nobody has ever said
that to me I’ve been talking to people
and nobody has ever said you be the
penis is a letter I wrote to Anthony OD
I was such a geek he says on today June
22nd 1971 I’ve decided to voice my
thoughts on paper to prevent my brain
from becoming disrupted
[Applause]
that was in high school that was in high
school
June 22nd okay mmm she’s always been
very dramatic don’t you know today is my
ninth anniversary with Anthony nine
months today never thought I’d make it
this far
my father says oh there we were there’s
me with the flip
there was the Marlo Thomas that girl
flip my father says stay at home and
rest doesn’t he know that love knows no
rest
nice best dance that for those who love
time is not I love Anthony I really
truly truly love him truly truly truly
and I don’t give a blank I use the
blanks in case if my father ever found
the letters I wouldn’t be cursing
whether or not people think it’s proper
or whether I’m too aggressive or flipped
for him because I don’t think God will
mine there’s some there’s so much hatred
in the world
I should think God would be happy to see
a little love flowing everywhere
rule number 21 set boundaries you know
cuz when I first started making money
and it was you know my salary or my
earnings were published all over the
place I mean the first year I was like
really did I make that much money oh my
god
it was very difficult for me to figure
out where my boundaries were because I’d
grown up poor and didn’t have anything
so it’s easy when you don’t have
anything and people ask you for money
and they say I need five hundred he said
I don’t have it because I’m just trying
to get my rent paid it’s harder when
you’re multi-billion dollar salary is
now into paper and you get a lot of
friends and cousins you didn’t have
before so how do you set boundaries for
yourself I was having trouble setting
boundaries myself for myself for even
strangers people would just show up at
my door in Chicago and say Oprah I left
my husband please help me and I would
because she knows I haven’t so don’t try
that now though okay
don’t try that now I figured it out so
what I learned was is that oh the reason
why people keep showing up is because my
intention is to make them think that I’m
such a nice person that you can ask me
for anything you can get me to do
anything I’m gonna say yes I’m gonna say
yes
so when Stevie called me this time I
thought I try out my first no on Stevie
let’s start big he wanted me to donate
some money to a charity and I didn’t
want to donate to the charity because I
have my own charities and I care about a
lot of people but the problem is when
you you have money everybody thinks you
just want to give to everything so every
letter I ever get starts with we know
you love the children yes I do love the
children but somebody else is gonna have
to help the children
so I said to Stevie I said to Stevie no
and as a person who has that disease too
please I was waiting for him then just
to say I will never speak to you again I
will never call you I will never sing a
song for you and he didn’t he just said
okay okay okay it’s okay he said okay
check you later
and what I learned from that is many
times you will have angst and worry
about things and put yourself in a state
like someone said this morning because
her phone went off they were mortified
over a phone I said really you will put
yourself in a state when the other
person really isn’t even thinking about
you so learning that I could
specifically determine for myself what
the boundaries were for me what I wanted
to do give my money give my time give of
my service to who I wanted to give it to
when I did that I get to make that
decision and just because you get a
hundred requests a week
doesn’t mean you have to try to fulfill
all of that just because you have all of
these demands on your time and on you
doesn’t mean that you have to say yes
you get to decide because you’re the
master of your fate the captain of your
soul is William Ernest Henley said in
Invictus and understanding that really
change the meaning of my life and that I
was not no longer driven by what other
people wanted me to do but took charge
of my own destiny making choices based
upon what do I feel is the next right
move for me
rule number 22 create the life you want
Quincy Jones had I would not even say an
important role I would say the role in
my acting career Quincy Jones discovered
me and it’s so interesting to me because
when I was working as a television news
woman in Baltimore and really all I
wanted to do was be an actress but I was
doing television and I felt at the time
well I I can’t quit this job because
this is what everybody else wants to do
and if I quit this job what am I going
to do and I was going to a speech coach
at the time that the station had sent me
to they you know they ever the
broadcasting school they sent everybody
the same woman and I was telling her you
know I really don’t want to do this what
I really want to do is act and she says
my dear you don’t want to act because if
you wanted to act you’d be doing it what
you want to be my day as a star because
if you wanted to actually be waiting
tables in New York you didn’t I thought
now why am I gonna wait tables of
already working in TV so I said well
what I think is going to happen is I
will be discovered because I wanted so
badly somebody’s going to have to
discover me and she said you just dream
you dream your dream er so when it
happened I called her up I said you will
not believe this discovered and it
really was a discovery it’s like one of
those Lana Turner stories only I wasn’t
a drugstore he was uh in his hotel room
saw me on TV it was unbelievable the
interesting thing about that is that I
Huli believe that thoughts are the
greatest vehicle to change power and
success in the world everything begins
with thoughts I mean the chairs that
were sitting in the room that we’re in
all started because somebody thought it
so I thought up the color purple for
myself I know this is gonna sound
strange to you I read the book I got so
many copies of that book
I passed the book around everybody I
knew if I was on the bus I’d pass it out
to people and when I heard that there
was gonna be a movie I started I started
talking it up for myself I did know
Quincy Jones or Steven Spielberg or how
on earth I would get in this movie I’ve
never acted in my life but I I felt it
so intensely that I had to be a part of
that movie I just I really do believe I
created it for myself I wanted it more
than anything in the world
and would have done anything to do it
anything to do it room at 23 turn your
wounds into wisdom turn your wounds into
wisdom you will be wounded many times in
your life you’ll make mistakes some
people will call them failures but I
have learned that failure is really
God’s Way of saying excuse me
you’re moving in the wrong direction
it’s just an experience
just an experience
just an experience I remember being
taken off the air in Baltimore being
told that I was no longer being fit for
television and that I could not anchor
the news because I used to go out on the
stories and my own truth was even though
I’m not a weeper I would cry for the
people in the stories and which really
wasn’t very effective as a news reporter
to be covering a fire and crying because
the people lost and it wasn’t until they
I was demoted as a on-air anchorwoman
and thrown into the talk-show arena to
get rid of me that I allowed my own
truth to come through and the first day
I was on the air doing my first talk
show back in 1978 it felt like breathing
which is what your true passion should
feel like it should be so natural to you
and so I took what had been a mistake
what had been perceived as a failure
with my career as an anchorwoman in the
news business and turned it into a
talk-show career that’s done okay for me
rule number 24 live your life to the
fullest what drives you to keep working
so hard you could you know you and I are
in the 60s category and so when you’re
in your 60s you know you’ve lived more
than you’re going to live yeah Mystikal
e so when you realize you’ve lived more
than you’re going to live you can say
why not relax a little bit why not just
ease up why have you decided to even
work harder than you did before because
I think David that everybody you know
the thing that works for me all these
years whether it was the magazine or
which I still have or whether it was the
show I could I understood that there’s a
common denominator in the human
experience and I want the same thing you
want which is the same thing you want
and you want what we all want is to be
able to live out the truest highest
expression of ourselves as a human being
that doesn’t end until you take your
last breath
what is the truest highest vision that
you hold for yourself no matter where
you are in your life there’s always the
next level there’s always the next level
to the last breath so I
feel that I always knew that I would get
be done with the show when I felt like
oh I’ve said as much as I could say here
on this platform and then how will I be
used if they were if there were a theme
song to my life
Amazing Grace would be one of them and
keep on using me to use me up would be
another one you know that bill with
their song so I feel that until you have
used your value as a human being you’re
not done
rule number 25 demand respect when I
first started as a broadcaster I was 19
very insecure thrown into television
pretending to be Barbara Walters looking
nothing like her and still going to
college so I do all my classes in the
morning from 8:00 to 1:00 and then the
afternoon I work from 2:00 to 10:00 and
did the 6 o’clock news and would stay up
and study and all that stuff at you know
until 1 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning
and then just start the routine all over
again and my classmates were so jealous
of me that I remember like taking my
little hundred and fifteen dollar
paycheck and at the time I thought was
really a lot but taking 150 dollars and
trying to appease them I would like all
wait any time anybody needed money I was
always offering oh you need ten dollars
or taking them out for pizza ordering
pizza for the class and things like that
trying to that whole disease – please
that’s where it was the worst for me I
think because I wanted to be accepted by
them and could not be because first of
all I didn’t have the time they want to
wanted me to pledge and I didn’t have
the time to pledge I was I didn’t have
the time to be a part of all the other
college activities or a part of that
whole lifestyle and it was very
difficult for me socially really one of
the worst times of my life because I was
trying to fit in in school and be a part
of that culture but also trying to build
a career in television it’s very
difficult for me to even see myself as
successful because I still see myself as
in the process of becoming successful to
me successful is getting to the point
where you are absolutely comfortable
with yourself
it does not matter how many things you
have acquired the ability to learn to
say no and not to feel guilty about it
to me is about the greatest success I
have achieved the fact that I have you
know in the public side done whatever is
fine it’s all a part of a process for
growing for me but to me to have the in
the kind of internal strength and
internal courage it takes to say no I
will not let you treat me this way is
what success is all about it’s the same
thing that prevents you from being
abused as a child that prevents you from
being abused as an adult that allows you
to build success for yourself I will not
be treated this way I demand only the
best for myself you are worthy to say no
you work that it’s ok if you say no it’s
ok if you say no and then people don’t
like you that’s really ok the important
thing is how you feel about what you’re
doing how you feel about yourself it’s a
long struggle though it’s a long
struggle and I’m just hoping that you
know in the work that I do on the show
and the speaking that I do around the
country and that young people who are
watching this can get the lesson sooner
than I did because it’s painful because
you keep repeating it over and over and
over until you get it right and what I
found is that every time you have to
repeat the lesson it gets worse because
it’s you know it’s I call it God trying
to get your attention the universe
trying to get your attention so we
didn’t get your attention the first time
so we’re gonna have to hit you a little
harder this time so I’m still doing it
I’m still learning
Rumour 26 you become what you believe
create the highest grandest vision
possible for your life because you
become what you believe when I was a
little girl
Mississippi growing up on the farm only
Bukka with his role model
watching my grandmother boil clothes and
a big iron pot through the screen door
because we didn’t have a washing machine
and made everything we had
I watched her and realized somehow
inside myself and the spirit of myself
that although this was segregated
Mississippi and I was colored and female
that my life could be bigger greater
than what I saw I remember being 4 or 5
years old I certainly couldn’t
articulate it but it was a feeling and a
feeling that I allowed myself to follow
I allowed myself to follow because if
you were to ask me what is the secret to
my success it is because I understand
that there is a Power greater than
myself that rules my life
and in life in life if you can be still
long enough in all of your endeavors the
good times the hard times to connect
yourself to the source I call it God you
can call it whatever you want to the
force nature Allah the power if you can
connect yourself to the source and allow
the energy that it is your personality
your lifeforce to be connected to the
greater force in the thing is possible
for you I am proof of that I think that
my life the fact that I was born where I
was born and the time that I was and
have been able to do what I’ve done
speaks to the possibility not that I am
special but that it could be done
rule number 27 touch lives every day I
remember when I started the school that
I said to my beloved friend Maya Angelou
said Maya I’m so I’m just so proud that
I was able to create the school I said
this is going to be my greatest legacy
and Maya said to me you have no idea
you have no idea what your legacy will
be she said to me because your legacy is
every life you’ve touched and that
shifted the way I saw legacy or what you
leave behind or what you do because Maya
was explaining to me that you know over
all the years of watching your show
everybody who decided that they were
going to go back to school or lose
weight or no longer hit their children
or get out of a bad marriage all of
those people who have seen and
experienced your voice and the same
thing with everybody here you have no
idea what your legacy will be your
legacy is every life that you’ve touched
and we like to think of it I know you
have done amazing things with your
philanthropy we like to think that these
great philanthropic moments are the ones
that leave the impact or will make the
huge difference in the world but it’s
really what you do every day it’s how
you use your life to be a light to
somebody else’s you know and it’s how
you use your work as an expression of
your own art whatever that is rule
number 28 all in your life my intention
in creating masterclass came from the
understanding that everybody’s story is
the same all stories are connected and
there is nothing that anyone who’s
living on earth has ever felt unknown or
experienced on a soul level that hasn’t
been felt or known or experienced by
someone else one of the most difficult
things in life is feeling that you are
the only one you are the only one who’s
travelled this path who’s felt this way
I
nowhere to go I was homeless at the time
I lost my family
next thing I know I’m in this car for
three years but I’m struggling who’s
experienced such a devastation or joy or
triumph or victory so for me I define a
master as someone who has fully stepped
in and owned the full progress and
trajectory of their life four sisters
pays off that’s lesson one but hearing
stories told from the mouths of people
who know how to live how to
course-correct how to keep going how to
never quit how to rejoice in the good
times and have faith in the bagged those
people are masters anyone who can do
that is a master and their ability to
share their stories only helps the
trajectory of others who listen
rule number 29 live a truthful life what
I learned going to beauty salon and
asking them after the news director had
told me that my hair was too thick and
my eyes were too far apart and I needed
a makeover and sitting in a beauty salon
in a French beauty salon allowing them
to put a French perm on my black hair
and having the perm burn through my
cerebral cortex
and not being the woman that I am now so
not having the courage to say this is
burning me and coming out a week later
bald and having to go on the air you
learn a lot about yourself when you’re
black and a woman involved and trying to
be an anchorwoman you learn you not
Diana Ross and that you’re not Barbara
Walters trying to be I was at the time I
had a lot of lessons
I remember going on the air many times
and not reading my copy ahead of time
and I was on the air one night and ran
across the word be a RB ados that maybe
barbatus to you but it was Barbados to
me that night
and telling the story as an anchorwoman
about a vote in absentia California I
thought it was located near San
Francisco
and one of the worst one of the worst
this is when I broke out of my barber
shell because I’m sitting there crossing
my legs trying to talk like Barbara be
like Barbara and I was reading a story
about someone with a blaze attitude
which if I had gone to Wellesley I would
have known it was blase and I started to
laugh at myself on the air and broke
through my Barbara shell and had decided
on that day that laughing was okay even
though Barbara hadn’t at that time
and it was through my series of mistakes
that I learned that I could be a better
Oprah than I could be a better Barbara
and I allowed Barbara to be the mentor
for me as she always has been and I
decided then to try to pursue the idea
of being myself and I am just thrilled
that I get paid so much every day for
just just being myself but it was a
lesson long in coming
recognizing that I had the instinct that
the inner voice that told me that you
need to try to find a way to answer to
your own truth was the voice I needed to
be still and listen to get this this is
just remember this because this will
happen many times you know when people
show you who they are believe them the
first time not the 29th time that’s
particularly good when it comes to men
situations because when he doesn’t call
back the first time when you’re
mistreated the first time when you see
someone who shows you a lack of
integrity or dishonesty the first time
know that that will be followed by many
many many other times that will at some
point in life come back to haunt or hurt
you when people show you who they are
believe them the first time live your
life from a point of view of truth and
you will live your life from truth and
you will survive everything everything I
believe even death you will survive
everything if you can live your life
from a point of view of truth rule
number 30 say thank you close your eyes
for a moment will you please and breathe
with me just close your eyes and if you
will put your thumb to your middle
finger and gather your other fingers
around and let’s feel the vibration and
pulse of your personal energy as you
take three deep breaths with me inhale
and as you exhale just feel the
vibration energy blood pulsating through
your body through you and another inhale
and another inhale and keep your eyes
closed and let’s just think about this
day this day that you have been graced
to breathe in and out thousands of times
this day where many of those breaths
were taken for granted you just expected
the next one to come but the truth is
there’s no guarantee that the next one
comes this day how you started your day
what your thoughts were this morning
how you’ve carried yourself through this
day how you’ve been allowed to have
encounters and experiences some
challenging some more life enhancing
that pushed you forward another day of
being here on the planet Earth as a
human being
let’s just think about that after all
you’ve been through and this day alone
and the many days and years passed how
you got here to this prestigious
esteemed University the choices you made
that have brought you to this day open
your heart and quietly to yourself say
the only prayer that’s ever needed thank
you thank you
thank you you’re still here and you get
another chance this day to do better and
be better another chance to become more
of who you were created and what you
were created to fulfill thank you
rule number 31 master your craft and the
number one lesson I could offer you
where your work is concerned as this
becomes so skilled so vigilant so
flat-out fantastic at what you do that
your talent cannot be dismissed stop
comparing yourself to other people
[Applause]
you’re only on this planet to be you not
someone else’s imitation of you I had to
learn that the hard way on the air live
anchoring the news one night in my 20s
when I first started broadcasting I was
19
moved to an anchor by the time I was 20
and I was just pretending to be Barbara
Walker
Walters I was just trying to talk like
Barbara act like Bravo Barbara hold my
legs like Barbara and I was on the air
and I hadn’t read the copy fully and I
called Canada Canada and I did that on
the air I crack myself up because I
thought Barbara would never call Canada
Canada and that little break through
that little crack that little moment
that I stopped pretending allowed the
real me to come through your life
journey is about learning to become more
of who you are and fulfilling the
highest truest expression of yourself as
a human being that’s why you’re here
rule number 32 find a way to serve
number two you must find a way to serve
Martin Luther King
said that not everybody can be famous
but everybody can be great because
greatness is determined by service now
we live in a world where everybody wants
to be famous and where we admire people
for just being famous we think being
known brings us value the truth is all
of that will fade in time in three years
you won’t be able to name the Housewives
a banana the real truth is that service
and significance service and the
significance that you bring to your
service is that which is lasting so to
be able to whatever your occupation or
job or talent or gift is our honorees
today getting Doctorate degrees –
apparently opposite fields HIV and AIDS
and the spoken word but what they have
in common is service using the spoken
word in service to community in the
world using your knowledge and
information about HIV and AIDS and
medicine in service to the world and if
you look at all the most successful
people in the world whether they know it
or not they have that paradigm of
service everybody’s talking about Mark
Zuckerberg and I appeal service JZ rapid
service through the word to people
through song for many years I was really
just happy to be on TV and people would
stop and say oh you on TV oh yeah I’m on
TV I like being on TV it’s a nice job
and it was about the time that I
received my honorary Doctorate from
Spelman around 1993 so I don’t know if
that had something to do with it I
thought of myself as dr. Winfrey
that I went back and I took the long
look at what it was I was doing on on TV
and made a decision that I was no longer
going to just be on TV but I was going
to use TV as a platform as a force for
good and not be used by TV and I will
tell you my decision to make that
significant change in the way I operated
on television using television as a
service changed my career exponentially
service through medicines service
through art using whatever it is you
produce your product as a way of giving
back to the world when you shift the
paradigm of whatever it is you choose to
do to service and you bring significance
to that success will I promise you
follow you service and significance
equals success that’s number two rule
number 33 take responsibility you are
responsible for your life and if you’re
sitting around waiting on somebody to
save you to fix you to even help you you
are wasting your time because only you
have the power to take responsibility to
move your life forward and the sooner
you get that the sooner your life gets
into gear what matters is now this
moment and your willingness to see this
moment for what it is accept it forgive
the past take responsibility and move
forward rule number 34 solve problems
you build the legacy not from one thing
but from everything I remember when I
just opened my school in 2007 I came
back and I had the
great joy of sitting in Maya Angelou’s
table she hadn’t been able to attend the
opening in South Africa and I said to
her Oh Maya the Oprah Winfrey Leadership
Academy that’s gonna be my greatest
legacy I remember she was standing at
the counter making biscuits and she
turned she put the dough down and she
looked at me and she said you have no
idea what your legacy will be this
excuse me I just opened this school and
these girls and it’s gonna be and she
said you have no idea what your legacy
will be because your legacy is every
life you touch every life you touch that
changed me and it’s true you can’t
personally stop anybody from walking
into a school with an assault rifle nor
can you single-handedly ensure that the
rights that your mothers and your
grandmother’s fought so hard for will be
preserved for the daughters that you may
someday have and it’ll take more than
you alone to pull 40 million Americans
out of poverty but who will you be if
you don’t care enough to try and what
mountains could we move I think what
gridlock could we eradicate if we were
to join forces and work together in
service of something greater than
ourselves
you know my deepest satisfaction and my
biggest rewards have come from exactly
that pick a problem any problem and do
something about it
because to somebody who’s hurting
something is everything rule number 35
always do the right thing always do the
right thing
always
[Music]
be excellent people notice think of how
you notice you go to Taco Bell somebody
gives you extra napkin and some sauce
you notice you want to go back to that
person cuz even at Taco Bell excellence
shows itself be excellent let excellence
be your brand
everybody talks about building a brand I
never even knew what that was when
people say you’re a brand I would say no
I’m just Oprah what I recognized now is
that my choice to it every way in every
example in every experience to do the
right thing and the excellent thing is
what has created the brand years ago I
did an ad for Revlon for for an ad they
were doing called unforgettable women
and what I know is that when you are
excellent you become unforgettable
people remember you you stand out
regardless of what it is you become an
unforgettable woman and that is what we
all want we want to be unforgettable and
not forgettable so doing the right thing
even
when nobody knows you’re doing the right
thing
we’ll always bring the right thing to
you I promise you that why because the
third law of motion is always at work
for every action there’s an equal and
opposite reaction that is so true in all
of our lives
rule number 36 listen to the universe
the universe speaks to us always first
in whispers
[Music]
and a whisper usually in your life feels
like hmm that’s act or hmm that doesn’t
make any sense or hmm is that right it
just really feels like that it’s that
it’s that kind of subtle and if you
don’t pay attention to the whisper it
gets louder and louder and louder and I
say it’s like getting thumped upside the
head you don’t pay attention to that
it’s like getting a brick upside your
head you don’t pay attention to that the
brick wall falls down that is the
pattern that I see in my life and so
many other people’s lives and so I ask
people what are the whispers what’s
whispering to you now and can you catch
it in the whisper rule number 37 become
the-best-version-of-yourself I have paid
attention to my life because I
understand that my life just like your
life is always speaking to you where you
are in the language with the people with
the circumstances and experiences that
you can understand and interpret if you
are willing to see that always life God
is speaking to you now it took me a
while to actually really get this and to
understand it but once I did I started
paying attention to everything and one
of the reasons why I can now accept the
fact that I can offer my gatherings of
information and wisdom and call myself a
spiritual teacher is that every single
person who ever came on my show and I
hear there was like 37,000 guests I’ve
talked to a lot of them came from
dysfunction and a lot of them wouldn’t
appear to be teachers but every one of
them had something to say that was
meaningful and valuable and that I could
use to grow myself into the best of
myself which is what all of our jobs are
your number-one job is to become more of
yourself and to grow yourself into the
best of yourself
rule number 38 surround yourself with
great people people don’t always like
you and they’re not always happy for you
and if you surround yourself with people
who are not accustomed to your success
they become fearful they become scared
because you are reflecting back
something to them but they don’t
recognize now they’re not going to say
you know I’m very fearful because you’re
reflecting back to me something I don’t
recognize they’re going to say you know
what they’re gonna say they don’t say
who she thinks she is who she thinks she
is that only happens when you are around
people who do not mean and want and
aspire to the best for you people who
want the best for you want you to be
your best so my greatest advice to you
is to surround yourself with people who
are going to fill your cup until your
cup runneth over
so when people say you’re so full of
yourself you can say yeah yes I’m full
I’m so full my cup runneth over and to
know that once your cup runneth over
you cannot spend your life with your
gallon-sized offerings offering them to
pipes eyes people
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you have got to surround yourself with
gallon-sized people who can hang in the
same company with you so that you’re not
offering your gallons to those little
pipes out there who can’t hold it anyway
rule number 39 find your true passion if
you can find what is your passion if you
find what you love you never get tired
or if you do get tired if you you’re
fueled by the energy of your work and
you know what you’re supposed to do by
how it feels and so you know if you’re
doing the right thing if it feels like
it’s right to you and when you hit the
thing that feels right you know it’s
right because it gives you your juice
and you know it’s right because you
would do it for nothing you would do it
for nothing and find a way to be able
just to do it in order to be able to
continue that’s how you know you’re
doing what you’re supposed to be doing
rule number 40 have fun Aubry you’re so
recognizable you ever able to sneak out
like disguise oh do you ever come help
him oh no I
well the last time I had on a hat and
glasses somebody said to me well you
trying to be incognito but do I have
time for this really funny story sure so
I’m walking my dogs in Chicago and I
have my hair this is during this summer
several years ago my hair’s cornrowed
and I’m walking and so there’s this kind
of like homeless guy and I’m going past
the park and the guy goes how you doing
baby
[Applause]
what’s your name so I ignored him
ignored him you know keep walking he
goes you know what you can’t tell about
your name
so I turned around and I said Oprah
Winfrey he goes you wish rumor 41 know
who you are for me the foundational base
of empowerment of entrepreneurship of
any kind of engagement the foundational
base of my success of my well-being my
wholeness my everything is knowing who I
am and where I come from in my living
room right now is a painting that I’ve
owned now for thirty years you can
google it it’s called to the highest
bidder
and it’s at the center of my house and
it’s at the center of my house because
it actually is symbolic of the
foundation of not the house but the
foundation for my life the painting is
by Harry Rosen who was a genre painter
painter in the early 20th nineteenth
century and the painting is over six
feet tall and it shows a slave woman on
the auction block holding her daughter’s
hand and I cannot come in the door my
front door or I cannot leave without
passing that painting I am reminded of
where I come from every day of my life
and I am reminded because I never want
to forget it and in my library I have a
frame list of enslaved African American
people remember I showed you who were
held in bondage on various plantations
listed in the ledgers alongside the cows
and the horses and the buggies and the
other property and I passed this list
every day and often I stopped in front
of it and just speak their names out
loud and their ages Jonah’s eleven years
old
five hundred dollars Sarah forty-one
years old nine hundred dollars
Elizabeth 57 $800 and I force myself to
consider the absurdity and the obscenity
of prices being affixed to each one
should they be placed up for sale and I
sometimes just pause before them with a
prayer particularly before I have to
make a big decision about one of my
companies or whether I booth forward or
whether I stay still it reminds me
speaking those names out loud not only
of where I’ve come from but how far I
have to go because of them and it
reminds me that I am never alone it
reminds me of what I’ve come through to
get through rule number 42 be a warrior
of the light
everybody is feeding yourself on the
hysteria and the negativity you’ve gotta
stay in the light but one of the reasons
why I was so excited is about a wrinkle
in time because the message is that the
darkness is spreading so fast these days
you must become a warrior of the light
and the reason that’s so meaningful to
me is because that’s how I’ve led my
whole life and every moment in that film
I just felt like I’m just saying what I
normally say and and for these times the
darkness is there to show you your light
look at what has happened so if you put
the focus on look at what happened with
the darkness it showed up in parkland
and the darkness it showed up on the
streets of Ferguson then the darkness
that showed up in many many many many
many many homes in Chicago with
shootings and senseless murders it
brings out the best in people
it brings out the best and so that’s
what it’s there we live on a planet
where there is darkness and light what I
deeply believe is not that do unto
others as you would have them do unto
you what you do is already done that
moment in the color purple’ where she
says everything you ever tried to do to
me where Whoopi says that silly every
everything you even try to do to me
already done to you so the law the third
law of motion and physics says that what
you’re putting out is coming back all
the time regardless of whether you know
it or acknowledge it or not so you got
to stay as a warrior white rule number
43 know your strengths I’ve done
magazines you’ve done movies you’ve done
television have you ever wanted to
release a CD of music oh honey please no
I you know what I think one of the
things I learned growing up watching
other people like Johnny Carson for
example was was a mentor in a way
because he always understood what he
could and could not do and I truly
understand that that is not something I
could do I mean I attempted it just as a
fun thing a couple years ago run on run
on I got stuck here myself that’s why we
that’s why we cut it off I wished I
could it’s the one thing I wish I could
do but I think it’s a gift to be able to
sing and that’s not what I was given but
since I was given so many other rule
number 44 earned success my biggest
frustration is not just with young women
my biggest frustration is also with
young men young people who think that
and I have a lot of this with my girls
in college they think that success is
supposed to happen like the Attucks yeah
they think that there isn’t a process to
it they think that they’re supposed to
come out of college and have their brand
and I recognize now that I am a brand
but I was resistant to being called a
brand for many years because I was like
I’m brand I’m not a brand I’m a person
but how I got to be a brand was not
trying to be a brand how I had to be a
brand was every day making choices that
felt like this is the right move now
that’s the right move and now that’s the
next right move the next right move
and so my frustration with young women
and young
is that they think it’s supposed to
happen like this and they don’t
understand that there’s a process to it
social media social media you did not
get to be editor of Vogue magazine by
not working and working and working and
working and working to get here I love
the theory of that there’s 10,000 hours
behind anybody who ever gets to be
successful rule number 45 have good
instincts I was interviewing a woman on
one of the shows of so impressive for me
to see all the shows that we’ve done
Lord make me tired looking at it but I
was interviewing a woman it was a show
called the mistress the wives meet the
mistresses or some crazy thing and this
woman was on and it was a live show and
in the middle of it
her husband tells the wife and our
entire audience and the world that his
mistress was pregnant yes to this day
makes my eyes water because I saw his
wife’s face and I felt her humiliation
and I said I will quit TV if I have to
do this I won’t do this anymore and my
producers like what are we gonna do this
is what everybody’s doing and then that
same during that same time period so I
said I’m not gonna do anything like that
anymore I’m not gonna I’m not gonna
bring people on TV where’s the wall but
we didn’t know that moment was gonna
happen they were like we didn’t know it
was gonna happen but that should not
happen on television and I do not want
to be a part of the energy that caused
somebody to feel that because that’s now
gonna come back to me I got to pay for
that then I was interviewing the KKK on
stage that was the day the one guy
called me a monkey in the audience and
during commercial break I could see them
signaling each other and just watching
them and their behavior I thought oh
they get it I don’t get it
they are using me they’re using this
platform because they understand because
I’m thinking oh I’m gonna tell you all
about the KKK they were using it to
recruit
members for themselves they were using
it to recruit their base and I then went
to the brewery sister said I’m not doing
a show like that so they said you’re not
gonna do the mistress’s you know you
know KK what we gonna do so I said we
are going to create a baseline for
ourselves that’s based on intention this
was around 1989 when I’d read Gary
Zhukov’s book called the seat of the
soul and that book was life-changing for
me because in it he talked about the
power of intention and that cause and
effect what goes out comes back is
determined by your intention the energy
of your intention is what determines
your life most people don’t think about
their intention they just think about
what they wanted to most people don’t
think about why they want to do it but
what’s going to come back to you the
energy that’s going to come back to you
is the real why of why you did it
and so I then said to my producers we’re
not gonna do any shows that are not
intentional so don’t bring me an idea
unless you have an intention for the
show that you want the outcome to be and
we’re gonna strive to see if we can live
up to our intentions and so around the
late 80s we started a pre-show to talk
about what the intention was and then a
post show after every single show to say
did we fulfill that intention and that’s
about the time I realize this is bigger
than me
rule number 46 love your audience I
actually miss I miss you guys
yeah I don’t
because where I got fed every day was
the audience and I did not miss a day in
25 years because of the audience I don’t
care how badly I felt I don’t care what
kind of coal what kind of I would come
because I knew that our URI rod in our
audience every day were a couple hundred
350 people every day who have literally
told their aunts their cousins they came
with their mothers they came with their
friends and I know that the preparation
to get there you’ve been coming from
Iowa been coming from Tennessee for days
so it’s not just a oh I’m just going to
Oprah Show Utah girl I’m going to open
okay so rule number 47 just be yourself
the beauty of my life Edward is that
from might say 30 to 33 on I figured out
how to be myself completely on
television and all these years I have
made a fortune really being myself this
huh so I’m never not me I’m never not
the person that you see you know there
are days when I am more open and warm
than others and one of the things that
actually caused me in 1991 to get my own
plane I was in the airport and I was
just minding my own business and a woman
came up and she said you’re not acting
like you do on TV and I said what’s that
she says well on TV you’re hugging
everybody you just sitting here you’re
not hugging away I’m just sitting here
man I’m just waiting on the plane so if
I’m in an airport I’m not necessarily
walking around hugging people okay but I
am I am just always just myself
rule number 48 align yourself with your
dream life has dreamed a dream for you
and your your goal your number one job
is to figure out what that dream is and
align yourself with the dream because
the dream cannot come to you unless
you’re willing to meet it energetically
in the same place so if your energy is
off which I say to my girls all the time
they could teach this class right now
being in flow if you are not in flow
with God’s dream for you with life’s
dream for you if you are out of order if
you are out of sync it cannot come to
you it will not come because the whole
purpose of your life is to line yourself
up with the purpose and so if you are
operating in fear if you are operating
in jealousy jealousy will kill you when
you are synched up with life life just
gives to you it opens doors
it creates experiences it allows you to
meet people things show up you never
thought we’re gonna show up and you are
doing what is the purpose of your soul
being here rule number 49 create a
meaningful life you know I believe that
the common thread that flows between and
through and around every person is that
we all have this deep desire within us
to create a meaningful life it’s like a
yearning that we all have to be more
alive and to express ourselves and as
you think of what lasting fulfillment
looks like for you remember that this
force whatever name you may call it is
that work within you and all of us and
it has a bigger dream for you then you
could ever imagine for yourself and rule
number 50 the last one before a very
special bonus clip is have fun I’m
really interested in my class is seeing
this now somebody’s cell phone it is
like playing a little melody let’s hear
it bring it over
come on come on come right go go down
who are you calling I’m Elaine is it
Elaine we just called you yes you know
Ike and I actually called her just know
she wanted another son mr. day to return
my coffee but she’s calling now if you
answer I know Elaine Elaine this is not
a good time to hit coffee Elaine Elaine
this is Oprah Winfrey and you call your
friend while she’s sitting in the middle
of an Oprah Winfrey Show
no well this if she’s sitting here right
now and she cannot believe that you
called her at this time where were you
were you Elaine
did you know honest she tried to call
you earlier girl to come to help
Michelle and you did not call her back
and so now you callin her while she’s
sitting up here on the show you know but
no we’re not on the TV now weird weird
weird we take the show to shows go what
time is it
this is true of course it is it sounds
like me of course it is no I wouldn’t I
wouldn’t kid you with something like
that but anyway sorry you missed today
we were given away so much stuff
now I’ve got a really special bonus clip
from Oprah on how to rise that I think
you’re gonna really enjoy but before
that it’s time for the three-point
landing questions time to move from just
watching another video to actually
taking an action in your life or your
business and if you’re feeling bold
answer the questions in the comments
below here we go question number one
what’s the best way that you can serve
others number two what do you need to
take responsibility for in your life and
number three who are you going to say
thank you to today
you could use your gifts that’s what
you’re really here to do to illuminate
the darkness in our world so this is
what I also know that this this this
moment in time this is your time to rise
it is even though you can’t go anywhere
you can’t stand in line at Starbucks you
can’t go to a party you can’t go to any
place without everywhere you turn people
are talking about how bad things are how
terrible it is and this is what I know
the problem is everybody is meeting
hysteria with more hysteria and then we
just are all becoming hysterical and
it’s getting worse what I’ve learned all
these years is that we’re not supposed
to match it or even get locked in to
resisting or pushing against it we’re
supposed to see this moment in time for
what it is we’re supposed to see through
it and then transcend it that is how you
overcome a stereo and that is how you
overcome the sniping at one another the
trolling the mean-spirited partisanship
on both sides of the aisle the divisive
fitness the in justices and the
out-and-out hatred you use it use this
moment to encourage you to embolden you
and to literally push you into the
rising of your life and to borrow a
phrase from my beloved mentor Maya
Angelou just like moons and like Suns
with the certainty of tides just like
the hope springing high you will rise
raise your standard apple at the core is
core value
is that movie that people have passion
and not one drop of myself work depends
on your it’s suppose to mean if you want
more Oprah check out the video I did on
her on her six pieces of life-changing
advice the link is right there next to
me I think you’ll enjoy it continue to
believe and I’ll see you there
not everybody can be famous but
everybody can be great because greatness
is determined by service
