Oprah's Observations

I finally had a chance last weekend to watch the Oprah Show Finale which I had taped weeks ago.   I thoroughly enjoyed her 25-year recap.   Some of Oprah's observations resonated with me so greatly that I thought they were worth sharing.   I hope you also find them valuable, either personally or professionally.  

1.       "Not everybody gets paid for it, but everyone gets called.  What's your calling?"

 

2.       "There's a difference between thinking you deserve to be happy and knowing that you are worthy of happiness."

 

3.       "People want to know:  Do you see me?  Do you hear me?  Does what I say mean anything to you?"
