OPRAH WINFREY

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.

What I know is, that if you do work that you love, and that fulfills you, the rest will come. I truly believe, that the reason I've been able to be so financially successful is because my focus has never, ever for one minute been money.

Pay attention to your feelings. The path to discovering why you are here is through your feelings.

You can be pursuing a profession because your parents say it's the best thing. You can be pursuing a profession because you think you will make a lot of money. You can be pursuing a profession because you think you are going to get a lot of attention. None of that will do you any good if you are not being honest with yourself.

Would you do your job and not be paid? I would do this job, and take on a second job just to make ends meet if nobody paid me. That's how you know you're doing the right thing."
