Oprah Winfrey's Harvard Commencement Speech


I'm starting to really love Oprah Winfrey, her energy just uplifts you; you feel stronger, more confident, and fearless when you're in her presence.  It's as though she has her own gravitational force.  I wonder if you'll start rotating around her if you ever stood near her. 

I want to share Oprah's commencement speech at Harvard in 2013.  Her words were inspiring and they filled my heart with a sense of life!  I especially loved this quote: "You will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal.  There really is only one, and that is this: To fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.  You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family, and the people around you.  Theologian Howard Thurman said it best.  He said, 'Don't ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.'
