The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose

by Oprah Winfrey

Sometimes I just ask myself, What would I do if I knew I was 100 percent worthy of this? What would I do? Just ask, What if?

if you take that risk, if you take that chance, if you tell the truest, hardest, deepest story that you have within you, you’re not going to step into the light and find that you’re there alone.

We’re not praying to have a challenge-free life. We’re praying that the challenges that come will activate latent potential.

MARIANNE WILLIAMSON: The majority of people didn’t wake up one day and go, “Let’s free the slaves.” The majority of people didn’t wake up one day and say, “Let’s give women the right to vote.” It’s because a small group of people usually considered outrageous radicals by the status quo of their day had a better idea. That’s how evolution works.

Sometimes knowing what you don’t want is as valuable as knowing what you do.
