Wisdom by Oprah Winfrey
"Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it."
"I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters."
"The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams."
