Oprah Winfrey has built an empire. A brand the world knows just by hearing her first name. She came from nowhere leading others to explore depths never talked about before. Oprah has clearly paved the way for women to be recognized as an economic, moral, and family force with the power to effect change and turn heads.
What could she have been thinking all the while doing everything she did? Here’s my best guest.
This will not define me. I will define me. Whatever Oprah’s circumstances she never stopped looking for who she was, where she wanted to go and what she needed to do to get there. No was not in her vocabulary. Maybe the word "might" have been, but only to the extent of hearing that as "yes."
There’s always a way. Regardless of the failures Oprah experienced, she didn’t throw in the towel. She used her strong perseverance even in the darkest days. Oprah knew how to break down barriers and find a new path even if it meant going where others never went.
Who needs help? In part, Oprah’s success has come from a mindset of who needs more than I do. She developed a pattern of looking out for the other gal or guy. Oprah didn’t stop with just what she wanted. She made things happened for the team, the people with less opportunities, and others she never would meet.
Oprah’s destination is not yet determined nor is her final footprint in this world. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
