About four months ago, Oprah Winfrey was a keynote speaker at the 2016 ESSENCE Festival and she had such inspiring lessons on the power of being intentional. Here are the ten key lessons and tips we gathered from her speech:
- You don’t get what you wish for… or hope for. You get what you believe.
- Be obedient to the call of your dream.
- Get still and know for sure what God’s dream is for you.
- Surrender to God’s dream for you.
- You are the master of your faith, captain of your ship.
- You are responsible for the choice you make.
- It is law that what you put out in the world is coming back to you. You are responsible for the energy you put out in the world.
- Get real clear about what you are putting out.
- Your intention is always one with the law. Your intention determines the outcome.
- You get no credit messing in someone else’s reality.
