Today I want to talk about seven amazing life lessons from Oprah, I recently wrote an article titled “7 Must Read Lessons from Oprah,” so needless to say, there’s a lot to learn from Oprah.

Oprah Winfrey is an American television host, producer, and philanthropist, most known for her self-titled, multi-award winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history.

She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was once the world’s only black billionaire.

Some even consider her to be the most influential woman in the world.

Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She went though considerable hardship during her childhood, prior to becoming the person she is today.

7 Amazing Life Lessons from Oprah:

1. See What You Want to Be

“When I look into the future, it’s so bright it burns my eyes.”

What do you see when you look into your future, because what you see is what you’re going to get.  Do you see your future so bright it burns your eyes?  If you do, then that’s what you’re going to get.  If you see your future as mundane, then that’s exactly what you’ll get as well.  What you see is what you get; I suggest you begin to see what you want to be.

2. The Power of Passion

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”

Passion comes from doing what you love.  When you’re passionate you can work all night long.  Passion is power, it the fuel that you need to succeed.  Discover your passion and dedicate your life to fulfilling it, no matter how long it takes.

3. Focus on the Good

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”

What you focus on expands.  If you focus on the good, you will get more of it.  If you focus on lack and poverty, you will get more of that as well.  Learn to recognize the good in your life and be grateful for it everyday.  Soon your focus will change and so will your life.

4. You Must Change

“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”

In order to have more, you must become more.  Nothing changes in your life until you grow.  What are you doing daily to grow, to change?  If you’re not changing, you shouldn’t be expecting your life to change.  To the degree that you change is to the degree that your life will change.  If you keep on doing, what you’ve always been doing, you’re going to keep getting the results you’ve always been getting, to expect otherwise is insane.
