Oprah Advises to Rise Above Your Obstacles

(SANEPR.com) April 6, 2009 -- In an article in the free self-empowerment e-magazine, No Limits, Oprah Winfrey states, “Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand.”
Oprah is a woman of extremes; she is extremely successful, extremely powerful and extremely passionate about what she does. But, her success has come at the end of a long road of other extremes: obstacles. From sexual molestation to drug abuse to racism, Oprah has endured an inordinate amount of both personal and professional challenges.
In this second segment of her two-part article in No Limits, while reflecting on her youth, Oprah says, “You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.”
She goes on to tell us, “We are each responsible for our own life — no other person is or even can be,” says Oprah. That is why it is crucial not to let challenges, be they your own characteristics, events, people, or other uncontrollable factors, act as barriers between you and your goals.
Having triumphed over the hurdles she met on her meteoric rise up, Oprah continuously faces new challenges with the increasing scope and success of her media empire. The difference now is that she is better equipped to deal with the challenges. “You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more,” she says. “The right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it.”
