Favorite Oprah-isms:

- Live with purpose. Purpose is spirit seeking expression.

- There is a difference between being a growing woman and an aging female

- True success comes from finding something significant for you. To find that, you need to get very still to hear that voice that is your own and nobody else's

- Live with a deeper sense of intention

- Every choice has a consequence

- Life is not just happening to you. You have the power.

- Surrender. God can dream a bigger dream for you

- We're hampered because we don't believe in the power of ourselves

- You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities.

- Believe it is possible and it will be.

- Be cognizant of that little voice in you, that whisper, telling you when something is not right. If you ignore the whisper it becomes a message. The message becomes a problem. The problem becomes a crisis and a crisis becomes a disaster. Listen to those initial whispers.

- When somebody shows you who they are - believe them. If you are in a

relationship that you know is wrong and you won't leave, you're not ready for something better for yourself.

- Don't block your own blessings

- Have the courage to own your own truth

- Gratitude opens your life. List 5 gratitudes a day in a journal.

- God loves appreciation

- Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we have the power.

- Step out and up and live in the future - not in your history

- The minute you step up there are always those that don't like who you've become. Only those who exalt in your glory are your real friends. People will start saying that you think you're somebody - and what's wrong with that?

- If you let your own light shine through, you will give everyone the power to do the same.

- The deeper the pain, the greater the opportunity

- Every day say to yourself, "how can I live my life in service for

something greater than myself"
