And: "Not fighting the flow". I live my life as a "Work in ProGress.", i.e.: Ongoing, AND progressing. When Oprah said that & the part about not having many regrets, I started to cry, bc I stopped, took stock, & realized that she had just cemented a belief that I've carried for 2 decades, yet never took time to appreciate. 😅 What a Blessing!😌 Have a Beautiful Day!! ✌💗💞
I cried throughout Oprah¬s letter, as that was me two years ago, couldn't understand why every time I succeeded my boyfriend hated it, then the girls too I thought I was friends with, I lost hope but now I am back, I am proud of me, I was waiting for people to be proud of me, no I am proud of me, I should be, I was scared ten years ago when I came to the UK with £50 in my pocket ( I thought I was rich coming from Africa) . I was so scared but now I am settled in the UK, my own successful business and life but I only started being proud two years ago, I felt scared to be proud of myself, I picked the wrong friends too, so they should be proud of me but still I couldn't relax, until I realised it was me all along.. Me I had to teach to relax..
I love Oprah so much. She changed my life seriously. Reading her books 'What I know for sure' and watching her show on RU-vid. I was lost but now I found my purpose. It all started with Oprah. Thank God Oprah was born and despite everything she went through she followed her instincts and became Oprah. Thank God for this beautiful soul.
“Dear beautiful brown skinned girl...” my eyes literally watered straight away, I’m gonna write mine after this- I also advise everyone to write themselves a fan letter and never stop being your biggest fan.
Absolutely beautiful. It was really interesting how she said that the guy she brought to the studio seemed less than impressed, but she later realized that he was just acting that way because he was intimidated. That is such truth.
Of course, she is the real beauty and her clean & clear handwriting denotes her pure soul as well. She is more than a gift for the people who know her.
I'm 21, graduating this semester. Yesterday I found out that I didn't get into UNI. I'm scared for my future. I really needed this and yes trusting God always.
Oprah's words act like magic always reaching the depths you never knew existed and change perspectives immediately. More love and power to her Always!!!!
Oprah is Wisdom.....Oprah is Abundant in Wisdom & Wealth....That is why she is Blessed .... she knew her Purpose and she Bless others ....she is definitely an 😇
Dear Me, you will be happy and successful in life. Your dad will passed away when you are teenager. So love him the most you can. Always be nice to your mom and your sister because they are your unconditional love. Trust in yourself and higher power. Don't compare yourself with other; move at your own comfortable pace. The right time will come. You are a caring and special person. Love you and like you.
geniune. we all know she was talking to her past self, not to the audience nor the camera. she was not there to please you but in the process inspired you
I relate to her soooo much. I too was molested, narc abusive mother etc. Anxiety, clinical depression in my teens. im 21 now. Still dealing with self estem issues and cant seem to detach from mt narc abusive mother and siblings. but i know ill get there. Anyone else who has been abused as a child? Hang in there....there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise. Humans are not scary and the only person you need to have holding your hand is yourself. God is always with you. ESPECIALLY when you notice his existence. Then he's never leaving you
Oprah's very wise she made her own way through life But she is no saint and she has her own struggles. With food that means It's not what she's eating its what's eating her. And I'm not sure she likes white people. She has never helped them. Like she always does for black people.. She also struggles with commitment. To her boyfriend And her Legacy when she leaves she has no children to leave at 2. That is the life she chose. Success
Few regrets,,, a life well lived !!! I have a long way to go but listening to Oprah is so uplifting,,, it helps me in so many ways !! Such an amazing woman .. human being !!
Thank you! You have no idea the peace, joy, confidence, love, hope, motivation, inspiration you bring to me. You make me know that I can be better. I have always needed validation and learning now that the validation comes from the person in the mirror. I am growing and learning I am enough and I am worthy. It took a long time for me to get it and even now while I am going through a process I need to remind myself I am the ONE! Thank you Ms. Winfrey with all my love.
..."to see yourself through your own eyes, to love yourself through your own heart..." I'm still in process and every step in that direction feels so empowering and uplifting. It's so crazy how many of us tend to give that power to others! Thank you Oprah for showing the way. #OWN
Beautiful, very beautiful!! Oprah is a beautiful soul! Very inspiring woman,very successful and very humble! May God continue to bless you Oprah and your husband stedman & all of your families.
Looking at this made me want to take some time to write a letter to both my younger and future self. Her letter was incredible and opened my eyes. “You have to look at yourself with your own eyes and you have to love yourself with your own heart”🙏🏾
Yeah...ha, I watched her my whole "Career" as a Stay@Home Mum! Married👨👩👧👧 now divorced forced into singledom 🤦♀️with two daughter's 👩👧👧 who are now 🎓 from high school and off on their own (Sophomore/Master's)...one mini - adulting and the other adulting 👭 🐶 together in Nashville Tennessee. Now it's my turn 👗👠💄👜 ✒📚 🎤🛫🛌🎨...Yep, I am steadily in preperration, my desire is to marry again...I am a "Wife" and I believe he is looking 🔍🔭 for his "Good thing" 💍 so I need to be ready mami!!! All right...Lord, it has been since 2013!!! 😂🤣🙃 #OutofBrokenness to #Masterpiece to #BrokenNoMore 💔❤💎
Wow! Love it & thank you Oprah for always being such a help using the media to help others in their daily struggles with tools to improve & bring joy into their lives! You inspire me & for that I am eternally grateful 🙏🏽❤️ God Bless you Always!

AAreeee you making theeese mistakes with your man? twitter.com/3b71570548a9d6abe/status/804693412402241537 OOpraaaah Winfrey s Note to Self adviccce Relax
I speak that in 2019 Oprah gets her recognition this year for all she done, society tends to speak well of people when they can't hear it. That must change. Oprah i Will be the first to say i appreciate all the tears, Labor over time you have put in to make much needed changes. Blessings always to u. And all those who had you back.
Thank-you for posting this. iInever watched Oprah but many friends of my did. I used to think why so dependent on a talk show host ? "Figure out stuff for yourself, read Anna Karenina without having to go to her to explain it. Think for yourself." I once saw her on New Bond Street in London. I was shopping with my family and we stopped into a small gallery and popped upstairs. As I was going back down she was coming up this very narrow staircase with an enormous smile on her face. Her energy was such that I had never encountered... ever. I enjoyed watching her Incredible self- reflection in this video. It was lovely, honest and very moving. I'll watch it again. Note to self....listen to your friends !
I am thankful for influencial figures like her for speaking up about her very personal experiences and continued faith in the almighty because it has helped millions of us around the globe!
I'll come here at the end of my studies. You inspire me Mama Oprah. I cannot wait to be successful and be the most influential person in the world just like you.❤🎓💯
you have opened yourself Ms Winfrey and I've grown,learned and your lessons have made me comfortable to be with me ogosh I can't believe I use to wanna please people its great freedom to live for me not for someone but me.The beating part I truly relate cause I've struggled to express my feelings
I must agree...few and far between. Such a lonely path when your season of being hidden and set apart for the ultimate grooming. The kind of grooming that prepares you for greatness - God, my prayer is that I pass all the test set before me...and when my "True" friend's show up, I will know them...just like He knows me by name! #OutofBrokenness to #Masterpiece 💔❤
Beautiful .. my life is going through a transformation I am finally transforming and letting go of the past, I have finally learnt that I am not my wounds and I refuse to be treated by myself and others like I am. the reason I opened the video wasn't just because of the title but because my birthday was on the clock 5:11 and that's how I knew I'm supposed to watch it! .. first comment had 511 likes too! Nothing like when the universe is speaking to you! When all your life you've struggled to get the attention from any of those you truly loved, until one day you decide to pay attention only to find that the divine has been showering you with all the attention and love you needed, it was you who wasn't paying attention! I feel so loved blessed taken care of now to a point that sometimes I really do feel like this whole universe was made for me, everything and everyone was created for me! Imagine going from feeling worthless and having suicidal thoughts to believing that you are the reason of the creation! Love & light to everyone ♥️🌈🌈🌈🌈 I'm going to get back to this comment in years and I'm going to feel the feelings I am feeling right now and I'll be as grateful as I am now! ♥️
Oprah has taught me so many things. Stand tall, believe in myself, be prepared as best as you can, dress well, see everyone. Find time for each person to have eye contact, a touch and a few words - to connect. Be kind to each other, and remember we show others how we want to be treated. . (ours were always joy or laughter) she is kind, thoughtful and sensitive. I don’t believe she would pass judgement on a close acquaintance based on What someone said (most of which were probably untrue). My hope is that Oprah would stand far enough above to see the truth. This is my hope. Oprah, can we talk?
That touched my heart in so many ways. I shared it every one I could think of. I just pray I too can look back at my journey someday and feel proud. Ty O your my SHERO!☺️
