With Oprah’s Lifeclass the Tour coming to a close last night on OWN, it was another example that each and every moment can bring something into your life that will forever change it. During this second season of Lifeclass, new teachers joined the stage and new energy filled our notebooks. Each session brought wisdom and perspective on life and all of it’s possibilities. And this season brought something a little more to these Daily OWN sisters…it’s brought spiritual connections and friendships that we can’t even begin to describe the honor that we feel from them. From our beautiful Cathy that we stood in line with in the NYC rain, to the PCP soul sisters we met along the way and to all of the OWN Ambassadors and OWN family members who have come together from all over the world and have made a connection grounded in Oprah and gratitude. These are the unexpected gifts that Oprah’s Lifeclass the Tour has given us…along with some amazing lessons. While the list below are just some of the lessons that spoke deeply to us, we encourage each and every one of you to find your Lifeclass lessons and take them out into your world. They will change your life…and you, in turn, will change the world. Here are ten of our favorite lessons from the Tour.

Great article and especially the 10 favorite lessons. I can relate to all of the lessons especially 5-10.
What you focus on in your life is what will grow in your life. If you want good things, focus on the good stuff. Very true!! After losing my husband my focus was very foggy and negative. Eventually my focus went from being and feeling negative to being and feeling happy. It took time but I am finally there. Happiness is free; yet so many can’t afford it.
When your universe starts speaking to you, start listening to it and be ready for whatever it brings. My universe has been speaking to me for a long time and I decided to listen. Once I decided to listen my entire life changed for the better.
Everyone’s purpose is to help, inspire and make the world a better place. This is why we are all here. Well said. Widows of Opportunity purpose is to help as many widows as possible. If there was a place like this when I first lost my husband I would not have spent so much time in misery, guilt, hurt, etc.
When you fill up your cup, everything inside of it is for you. Everything that spills over is for everyone else. You are definitely doing that Oprah! You are a giving and caring woman. My happiness has overflowed so I decided to spread it to every widow I encounter! When they first meet me they are in pain, crying, devastated, etc. but when they leave my presence they are smiling, laughing, and feeling good! I love what I do!
Movement trumps emotions. MOVE and it will change your life. Change your movements in the world and you will change how you feel about it…your self-confidence…your life…everything.
You can make the difference in anyone’s life. Know this. YOU can change their world. YOU have that power. Amen!! The day I accepted my husband’s death and my hurtful past was the day life changed for me. I decided to start an organization for widows and ever since that decision I have been the happiest in my life. Matter of fact this was the first time I was ever happy. I finally know how it feels to be happy. I love helping others!
Widows of Opportunity is dedicated to support, educate, and help widows no matter their ages, race, length of time being a widow or circumstances surrounding spousal death.
