This weekend, I had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with one of the most influential people on the face of this earth, Oprah Winfrey. I attended her Live The Life You Want Weekend, where I got to know Oprah and her panelists intimately. It was one of the most gratifying personal experiences I’ve ever had.
As of one ten thousand people in the arena, I took advantage of personally and professionally developing my abilities to serve others and myself as a Success Coach. Oprah’s line up of spiritual and life gurus shared their lessons with thousands at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. While I expected this weekend to be a soul searching event, I was not prepared for Oprah’s abilities to completely tame an audience as large as ten thousand people. She was magical and the energy in the room was amazing!
Oprah started the weekend on Friday evening by encouraging her audience of “friends”, as she called us, to listen to the whispers of life. Life always shows up to tell us something, and, in the words of Iyanla Vanzana, life has our back. Listen and act on the “hmms” and the “that’s interesting” thoughts that come from within. They are there to warn us that we are moving in the wrong direction. Ignoring the whispers causes situations to get worse and, before you know it, we end up in danger or in crisis.
Spending the weekend with Oprah was an intentional way for me to achieve a Bucket List Item. Spending time with Oprah and hearing Iyanla Vanzant speak live are two things I’ve had on my list for years, and several months ago, I took a stand for me and invested in a weekend with my idols.
Many of us let life’s opportunities pass us by because we are not awake to take advantage of them when they are presented. One of Iyanla’s teachings this weekend was to have a vision that is so detailed that you know what it looks like when it shows up. I’ve known the details of my intentions for quite some time. So, when the opportunity to spend time with these ladies was presented, I knew right away it was a chance to fulfill a prophecy that may not come this way again.
What are you intentional about? What are the details of your vision? If it showed up today, would you be prepared to seize the moment?
Don’t let life’s opportunities pass you by. Be intentional. Write your vision and keep it in front of you. Don’t let fear, obligation or guilt prevent you from fulfilling your heart’s desires.
