As “The Oprah Winfrey Show” came to an end after 25 years, I have to comment about such a milestone in American history. Even though I’m a bit slow, and I just started watching her show this season, it is clear that she has made a difference in thousands of lives. I have taken some of her words from the last show and placed them in the entry. I will let them speak for themselves, because they are simple and profound enough on their own. Take a moment to ponder and even meditate on what’s being said.
· All life is energy. “Place take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.”
· Jeri Maguire was just a movie – nobody completes you.
· There is a common thread that runs through all of our pain and all of our suffering, and that is unworthiness – not feeling worthy enough to own the life you were created for.
· You’re worthy because you are born and you are here. You’re being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.
· Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?
· What are the whispers in your life and will you hear it?
I couldn’t agree more with what she had to say. In every person, there is a question of worth and value, and I believe that the greatest acts of love are those that confirm and affirm the value of another person. There is a saying that goes “be the change you want to see,” but I will take that a step further and see “be the love you want to see.” Build your worth in your eyes. Seek the unconditional love of God that builds your worth and perception of your value. And then give that others. When we do this in the ways that we are called to live within our passions, that is when we are truly alive and truly divine.
In the parting words of Oprah, “Until we meet again, to God be the glory…”
