The Oprah Winfrey show may have ended, but Oprah continues to share positive messages with the world.
In the words of Oprah:
There are no mistakes.

It's going to be okay.
When you are on a detour, and feel uncertain, that is your cue to change course.
Failure is just there to point you in a different direction.
So... What is the next right move?

Some food for thought:
In school we only get good grades so our parents will be proud (hopefully!).
At work we adapt to our environment – loved or not – so that our bosses will be impressed.

WHY?
Why do we change who we are so that the guy or girl we like will think we are awesome?
