What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey

It’s a beautiful, short book to read through and recenter you on what’s really important in life. I loved every page.

The lines I loved most:

You are a single choice away from a new beginning.

You are built to blossom into more. To be more extraordinary.

Ask yourself often— what is my real intention?

I believe in living a life of adventure and the biggest thrill I can ever achieve is to live the life of my dreams. A live fully lived and expressed.

My intention is to work hard at something that’s fulfilling.

You never need to give up your power. If you do this, how will it make you feel about yourself?

When you define yourself by the things you can acquire rather than what you really need to be happy and fulfilled, you’re not just living beyond your means or overextending yourself, You’re living a lie.

Another yellow sweater is going to make me feel… what? If the answer if “nothing” put it back. I hope the way you spend your money is in line with the truth of who you are and what you care about. I hope that your money brings joy to you and the ones you love. I hope you use it as a powerful force for good to fulfill your best intentions.

The ultimate in being healthy is to operate at full throttle — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

It’s a decision you make: to pursue what you were called here to do and not just meander through your days. What you do today created every tomorrow.

Once you decide what you want, make a commitment to that decision. W.H. Murray said: “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Make a decision and watch your life move forward.

Authentic power occurs when purpose aligns with personality to serve the greater good.

The secret is alignment: when you know for sure you’re on course and doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, fulfilling your soul’s intention, your heart’s desire. When your life is on course with its purpose, you are at your most powerful.

All of our actions, both good and bad, come back to us. We receive from the world what we give to the world. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Happiness is never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you are able to give. You lead life; it doesn’t lead you.
