The REAL TRUTH Behind What it TAKES to BE a SUCCESS! | Oprah Winfrey ADVICE

I love the theory of that there's 10,000 hours behind anybody who ever gets to be successful when you are synched up with life life just gives to you not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service wanna soar get a mentor what's up believe nation it's Evan I believe in you and this channel is designed to be a part of your daily success routine so today let's learn from one of the best Oprah Winfrey and some of her best life-changing advice mentor me Oprah [Music] okay let's kick it off with advice number one earn success my biggest frustration is not just with young women my biggest frustration is also with young men young people who think that and I have a lot of this with my girls in college they think that success is supposed to happen like that yeah they think that there isn't a process to it they think that they're supposed to come out of college and have their brand and I recognize now that I am a brand but I was resistant to being called a brand for many years because I was like a brand I'm not a brand I'm a person but how I got to be a brand was not trying to be a brand how I got to be a brand was every day making choices that felt like this is the right move now that's the right move and now that's the next right move the next right move and so my frustration with young women and young men is that they think it's supposed to happen like this and they don't understand that there's a process to it social media yes social media you did not get to be editor of Vogue magazine by not working and working and working and working and working to get here I love the theory of that there's 10,000 hours behind anybody who ever gets to be successful advice number two find a way to serve number two you must find a way to serve Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service now we live in a world where everybody wants to be famous and where we admire people for just being famous we think being known brings us value the truth is all of that will fade in time in three years you won't be able to name the Housewives a banana the real truth is that service and significance service and the significance that you bring to your service is that which is lasting so to be able to whatever your occupation or job or talent or gift is our honorees today getting Doctorate degrees - apparently opposite feels HIV and AIDS and the spoken word but what they have in common is service using the spoken word in service to community and the world using your knowledge and information about HIV and AIDS and medicine in service to the world and if you look at all the most successful people in the world whether they know it or not they have that paradigm of service everybody's talking about Mark Zuckerberg and IPO service jay-z rapid service through the word to people through song for many years I was really just happy to be on TV and people would stop and say oh you on TV yeah I'm on TV I like being on TV it's a nice job and it was about the time that I received my honorary Doctorate from Spelman around 1993 so I don't know if that had something to do with it I thought of myself as dr. Winfrey then I went back and I took a long look at what it was I was doing on on TV and made a decision that I was no longer going to just be on TV but I was going to use TV as a platform as a force for good and not be used by TV and I will tell you my decision to make that significant change in the way I operated on television using television as a service changed my career exponentially service through medicine service through art using whatever it is you produce your product as a way of giving back to the world when you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service and you bring significance to that success will I promise you follow you service and significance equals success that's number two advice number three align yourself with your dreams life has dreamed a dream for you and your your goal your number one job is to figure out what that dream is and align yourself with the dream because the dream cannot come to you unless you're willing to meet it energetically in the same place so if your energy is off which I say to my girls all the time they could teach this class right now on being and flow if you are not in flow with God's dream for you with life's dream for you if you are out of order if you are out of sync it cannot come to you it will not come because the whole purpose of your life is to line yourself up with the purpose and so if you are operating in fear if you are operating in jealousy jealousy will kill you when you are synched up with life life just gives to you it opens doors it creates experiences it allows you to meet people things show up you never thought we're gonna show up and you are doing what is the purpose of your soul being here advice number four just be yourself the beauty of my life Edward is that from might say 30 to 33 on I figured out how to be myself completely on television and all these years I have made a fortune really being myself this huh so I'm never not me I'm never not the person that you see you know there are days when I am more open and warm than others and one of the things that actually caused me in 1991 to get my own plane I was in the airport and I was just minding my own business and a woman came up and she said you're not acting like you do on TV and I said what's that she says well on TV you're hugging everybody you just sitting here you're not hugging away I'm just sitting here man I'm just waiting on the plane so if I'm in an airport I'm not necessarily walking around hugging people okay but I am I am just always just myself advice number five put out positivity reading Newton's law third law of motion which says for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction was like a religious experience for me I just understand me all my bells and whistles and lights and dancing emojis went off because I could see that I'd experienced a little bit of that in the color purple' that beautiful line where would be as miss Celie says everything you try to do to me has already done to you mmm that struck me in particularly in the movie and I understood that everybody's actually saying the same thing Newton saying the same thing is Miss Seeley is saying the same thing as what we in this country and mean the other country is call the Golden Rule that really what you put out is coming back all the time and what really struck me is that is not do unto others as you would have them to unto you it really is when you do it's already done because that's law and advice number six the last time before a very special bonus clip is fill your if I leave you with nothing else it's just know this for sure there is not one thing that has ever happened to you not one experience about one encounter not one crisis not one joyful thing that hasn't happened just to make you better and help you rise every single thing you're calling in whether you know it or not when you figure out that you are calling it in when you actually start meditating or praying or doing or having a spiritual practice which is the number one thing you need if you want to be successful in the world you need something that gives back and nourishes you regardless of what you call that you need to you need to fill your cup so that you can be so full your cup runneth over and you have enough to give to other people if you don't fill your cup you end up dried up you end up tired exhausted and don't have enough to give it to other people you end up resentful every time somebody asked you because your cup is empty and now they want some of yours so your number one job your number one job is to fill your cup and make yourself whole that's your job now I've got a really special bonus clip from Oprah on how to relax that I think you're gonna enjoy but before that it's
