The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose by Oprah Winfrey
This read came to me at a point in time when life was a bit, not normal, and unpredictable. Almost same but diff from right about now 😄
A reminder that life is meant to be lived according to your personal purpose and calling, whatever they may be. Inspirations from luminaries across the spectrum and the queen herself, happy birthday Oprah!

Noteworthy excerpts:
"When you pay attention to what feeds your energy, you move in the direction of the life for which you were intended. Trust that the Universe has a bigger, wider, deeper dream for you than you could ever imagine for yourself."
"Once you accept when you have done everything that you can do, you surrender it. Let it go to the power and energy that’s greater than yourself. And then not be attached to the outcome."
"I really believe that if I want something, God has three answers. It’s either Yes; Yes, but not right now; or No, because I have something better in store for you." - Kerry Washington
"We’re not praying to have a challenge-free life. We’re praying that the challenges that come will activate latent potential." -Michael Bernard Beckwith
"I have no argument with greatness. But if arriving at my great destination becomes an excuse for dismissing my life now because I haven’t found that great purpose yet, that’s a waste of a day, if not a life...Life is a sailboat rather than a train." Barbara Brown Taylor
"Ask yourself today, in the middle of your complicated, demanding, chaotic life: What do I want my legacy to be? And then start living from that intention."
"All spiritual knowledge is not cognition. It’s recognition. You’re reknowing what you deeply already knew. What you deeply intuited, suspected, desired, hoped for, that’s the soul." -Father Richard Rohr
"‘How am I making things more difficult than they need to be?’ Your answer to that same question is the next step in your path. It’s that simple. Imagine what lies just around the bend."
“You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities.”
