Media mogul, actress and inspiration Oprah Winfrey celebrates her 60th birthday on January 29th. By the grace of God and hard work she has defied the odds and continues to dream big. Over the years I have heard and read many things Oprah has said that resonate with me. For her birthday, I decided to share some of her quotes. You know I love Wisdom Nuggets. Enjoy!
“Doubt means don’t.”
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
“Lasting joy is found not in what you get, but in what you give.”
“When you are excellent, people notice you.”
“That is the definition of courageous… it’s not courageous if there is no fear.”
“The path to happiness is rarely a straight line, but there are so many opportunities for wisdom along the way- because even a roadblock is a chance to learn, and every crossroads helps you decide what you really desire.”
“Meet people where they are, love them on the level of where they are.”
“You can step out of your history, your past and write a new future for yourself.”
“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.”
“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”

I had the opportunity to meet Oprah when she taped a Christmas edition of her My Favorite Things show in Georgia. I was a member of a gospel ensemble that sang on the show.
Can you find me in the picture?
