WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE.............

I RECEIVE MY OPRAH'S SUBSCRIPTION TODAY.........
WITH A LITTLE BOOK:
THE BEST OF OPRAH'S  WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE.  IT'S A COLLECTION OF "WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE" COLUMNS BY OPRAH, THE O OF O.

THE FIRST SECTION:

"HAPPINESS IS NEVER SOMETHING YOU GET FROM OTHER PEOPLE. THE HAPPINESS YOU FEEL IS IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE LOVE YOU GIVE."

WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS.  I ASK, "WHAT ARE YOU GIVING TO THE WORLD?"

SHE TALKS ABOUT A COUPLE WHO APPEARED ON HER SHOW:

THE WIFE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAD BROKEN DOWN.  SHE KEPT SAYING, "HE USED TO MAKE ME SO HAPPY. HE DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY ANYMORE."  WHAT SHE COULDN'T SEE WAS THAT SHE WAS THE CAUSE OF HER OWN EFFECT.
IF YOU THINK SOMETHING IS MISSING IN YOUR LIFE OR YOU'RE NOT GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE, REMEMBER THAT THERE'S NO YELLOW BRICK ROAD.
YOU LEAD LIFE; IT DOESN'T LEAD YOU.

IN The Color Purple, THE CHARACTER CELIE EXPLAINED IT TO MISTER: "EVERYTHING YOU TRY TO DO TO ME, ALREADY DONE TO YOU."


I WAS THAT WIFE. THE ONE OPRAH TALK TO ON HER SHOW.......
I SO FOOLISH..........I SO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY,  NOW DAYS.  BUT I AM SO SORRY TO SAY THAT IT'S TO LATE FOR MY MIRRAGE.  TO SAVE IT..........BUT I HAVE TO MOVE ON.  I JUST HAVE TO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.

I STILL HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE..........
TILL NEXT TIME.........
