Oprah in Atlanta: What I Know for Sure

Oprah and friends Nate Berkus, Lisa Ling, Suze Orman, Dr. Oz, and more showed up at the Georgia World Congress Center on Saturday for O Magazine’s annual O You!

In a rare public appearance, Oprah spoke – actually preached – for over an hour. It was like an old-school Southern revival: ‘I always say everything comes from source. But down here in the South we can call it what it is. We don’t have to be afraid of the G word down here!’

The best was when Oprah stepped into a hole on the stage – and quickly recovered:

‘You know what that is? I was standing backstage watching Gayle speak earlier, and when she stepped in that hole I said, ‘Did you not see that hole? It was right in front of you!’ That’s what I get. Everything comes right back to you – and this only took 20 minutes!’

Oprah in Atlanta: What I Know for Sure

Here are Oprah’s Top 20 ‘What I Know for Sure’ words of wisdom from the event…

1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what (This is my creed.)

2. You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.

3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou.)

5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.

6. What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.

7. If the only prayer you ever say is ‘thank you,’ that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart.)

8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.

9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.

10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else things, the world will not fall apart.

11. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.

12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.

13. Let passion drive your profession.

14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.

15. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.

16. Every day brings a chance to start over.

17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.

18. Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.

19. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.

20. ‘Trouble don’t last always.’ (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite; This to, shall pass.)
