I dont know why i'm dedicating my first blog to Oprah. Maybe deep down inside, I wanna be like her. But I can't because she's one of a kind, just like all of us. All I can take away from her are the lessons she teaches in each show. Of course being the grandma that I am, I didnt want to miss her final final show. For some reason this one lesson she learned herself grabbed my attention and suddenly a lightbulb turned on.
We all know how powerful Opran is. She gives young girls in Africa a chance to be educated, takes her whole crew to australia (having John Travolta as the pilot), and buys her audience brand new cars. But you never hear boast about her wealth or what she's purchased for herself. She's humble and I admire that.
She's given many talented people a chance to have their own show (Ex. Dr. Phil & Dr. Oz). All but one person have accepted her offer and ends up being successful. The person who rejected her offer didn't believe she earned to have a show. I bet you're like WHAT?! but think about it... How many times have we told ourselves "Oh, I dont feel like I deserve that"... Well you do deserve what ever comes your way!!!! This is the lesson I learned from Oprah "What I got was we often block our own blessings because we don't feel inherently good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or worthy enough."
So if you ever think you don't deserve something that seems too good to be true, you do! It's a blessing. Take it, accept it, & appreciate it <3
