Oprah Winfrey: Yourself

“You are where you are in life because of what you believe is possible for yourself.”

“There is one irrefutable law of the universe: We are each responsible for our own life. If you’re holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you’re wasting your time. You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn’t receive.”

“Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.”

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

“If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to.”

“You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.”

“To love yourself is a never-ending journey.”

“I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.”

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.”

“Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You're defined by what you stand for”

“Value yourself more.”

“All the energy that you spend, trying to hurt somebody else, that energy will turn around and slap you in the face. The same thing is true, Love, what I know is that the energy that put out everyday with the best of intentions that it would reach you where you really live in heart of yourself has come back to me from all of you in full force. So that what we've learnt on this show; You are responsible for your life and when you get that, everything changes, my friends. So don't wait for somebody else to fix you, to save you or complete you…”

“All the energy that you spend, trying to hurt somebody else, that energy will turn around and slap you in the face. The same thing is true, Love, what I know is that the energy that put out everyday with the best of intentions that it would reach you where you really live in heart of yourself has come back to me from all of you in full force.”

“Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.”
