Congrats. I'm finding the Oprah life class pretty helpful
take a look at the notes on You’re Responsible For Your Life
There is a bunch of great info on her website
Oprah's Lifeclass Classes - OWN TV Oprah’s Lifeclass’ are filling up my life with lessons and I’m realizing that I need some time to let them soak in. Tonight class was about your energy, other people’s’ energy and ultimately, taking responsibility for your OWN life. Amazing lessons to process. What kind of energy do you bring into the world? How often does your mood impact the others around you? You have the power…and now, you have the notes too. Here are the notes from tonight’s class…
* You are responsible for your OWN life. – If anything is going to move forward in your life, you are going to have to be responsible for making that happen.
* If you are sitting around waiting for anyone to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward. The sooner you get that, the sooner your life gets into gear.
* It does not matter where you come from. What matters is now and your willingness to see this moment for what it is. Except it, forgive the past, take responsibility and move forward.
* Case study – Paula Dean. A woman who has been able to take charge of herself. Went from $200 to $20 million dollars. “I made a commitment to work and God blessed it… I did not have the vision…what I wanted was to be able to go to the grocery store and for the check to not bounce.” All different levels of success. Paula took responsibility for her own life – having a dream for herself and surrendered it to that which is greater than yourself. Paula was also agoraphobic – afraid to leave the house. For over 20 years ,Paula barely left her home. After 20 years, Paula woke up one day and took her life back telling herself, “Paula, forget the things that you can’t change. Don’t get on an emotional roller-coaster…” ” When I accepted my death, I was able to start living again.” Rise to the very best self that you can be.
* Only you have the power to make your life what it’s meant to be. - I accept responsibility for what is going to happen to me and I am not relying on someone else for making it happen to me. What ever is necessary, I take full responsibility for making that happen for me.
* Everything in life is about energy. All of life is about energy. It’s about the energy that you’re putting out, you’re drawing to yourself energy everyday, based on the way you think about your life and the actions that you take in your life. Everybody is an energy field and because of your attitudes, your thinking, your actions, who you choose to be in the world – they all form your own field and your drawing into your field people who are like you, to remind you of who you are. to show you who you are, to reflect back to yourself who you are. Believe that or not, that is what is happening all the time. It does not require your belief. IT JUST IS...
