Oprah Quotes and philosophies on life
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself.
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Life is about becoming more of who you really are.
The most you get is what you ask for.
Life is about growth and change. When you are no longer doing that — that is your whisper; that is your whisper that you are supposed to do something else
Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate

If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.
The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude

You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe
You are where you are in life because of what you believe is possible for yourself
Think like a queen. A queen if not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness
~ Oprah Quotes on a positive attitude
Oprah quotes on success
I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit
I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes
The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.
I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.
The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance – and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.
I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.
What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only your own life, but in other people’s lives.
What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.
Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
For everyone of us that succeeds, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out
~ Oprah Quotes on success

Oprah Quotes on faith and spirituality
It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within – that you can begin to take control.
What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine
We are not Human Beings experiencing spiritual lives, we are spiritual beings experiencing human lives
It all boils down to one thing…it is your ‘relationship’ to the source, and that relationship to that which we call God, or don’t call God, or don’t even know…is God. It is ALL that really matters…when you surrender, and stop resisting, and stop trying to change that which you cannot change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received, and those that are yet to come to you, and stand in that space of gratitude, and honor, and claim that for yourself, and look at where you are, and how far you have come, and what you’ve gotten, and what you’ve accomplished, and who you are. When you can claim ‘that’, and see that, the literal vibration of your life will change. The Vibration of Your Life Will Change
What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God’s way of pointing you in a new direction
