Best of Oprah Winfrey - 1 Minute Motivation

There is no such thing as failure.

Failure is just life
trying to move us in another direction.

When you're down in a hole,
when that moment comes,

it's really okay to feel bad
for a little while,

give yourself time to mourn
what you think you may have lost.

But then, here's the key:

Learn from every mistake.

Because every experience, encounter,
are there to teach you,

and force you into being
more who you are.

There is, I know this,
there is a light inside each of you

that illuminates your very human beingness
if you let it.

And as a young girl from rural Mississipi,

I learned long ago that being myself

was much easier than pretending to be
Barbara Walters.

I figured out:
"Oh J, I can be a much better Oprah

that I can be a pretend Barbara."

Don't ask yourself what the world needs,

ask yourself what makes you come alive
and then go do that.

Because what the world needs is people,

who have come alive.
