4 Questions to Help You Find Your Calling | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network
/ own - Zábava
I got the following as the answers:
1. What are you more afraid of than anything in the world?
2. What would you do if you knew you were going to die in 3 months? What would be the last thing that you would do?
3. What would you do if fear were not a factor?
4. What would you do if money was not a factor?
Anyway that is what I got from listening to it three times. Hope I got it right. Just trying to help :)
Thank you so much, Terri? you Saved me from rewatching it a gazillion times.... lol
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank u
I love how this lovely, smart man admitted that as a kid whether it be small kid or teen, people even your family members don't want you to be big and leave them behind! Most people pretend as though humans are born with this. Smh.
I knew some guys when I was at school who knew or seemed to know exactly what they wanted to do with their lives. One guy wanted to be an aeronautical engineer and another guy was going to be a doctor. That was 30 years ago and both have succeeded in their ambitions. Me, I never knew, despite having the brains to do likewise. Nothing in the education system seemed to click for me. I could never see myself in roles like that. And still can't. I also fell into alcoholism due to this crisis of the soul. However, I did find that I actually enjoyed working outdoors, gardening and that kind of stuff. And that's where I found my salvation really. I got sober because I fell in love with the outdoors and that kind of work and have been pursuing that for 14 years now. It's been a whole change of life for me really. And they're right, it is a real job trying to find something that you truly enjoy doing, brings you satisfaction and fulfilment. That is the ultimate goal in life in my opinion.
This speaks to me so deeply. I love to sing. I am a singer. I think opera. Anytime my big operatic personality comes out there are always people who try to humble me into nonexistence. As a black opera singer I got it a lot from people thinking that oh I wasn’t any good, from white teachers telling me they’ll never cast you as that part because that’s not a part for a black girl. But each time I ignored them and found my light and decided that I was going to let itShine bright. And it always helped me to grow stronger in myself and in my talents. He’s so right! When people try to dim your light move far away from them! Go in the opposite direction of their darkness and live your truth. Right now singing is the only thing that is keeping me afloat even during COVID-19.I lost my job, but I am still asked to sing for my church which fills me with so much joy! God has allowed me to use my light to shine for the services that I think for. This is a blessing.
Now I know why I am living in clutter, cause I don't know my calling so I can't get rid of anything just in case I need it for that. I'm also stopping myself from doing it for fear etc. Thanks Oprah you are a true teacher!
When I was doing my yoga teacher training, I asked my teacher “What is the meaning of life,” hoping to get a profound answer. He simply said, “To live as happily as we can.” In yoga, we learn that to live happily, we must first find what makes us happy and do that. What are we passionate about? What stirs our loins and makes our heart soar when we think about it? Doing what we love allows us to honour our true essence and live authentically. This brings us into alignment and union with who we really are. When we are in alignment with our truest selves, and recognise that this is our identity and what defines us, this will then be our calling. Living this way will move us towards peace, happiness and abundance. So do what you love and live happily 🙏🏼
Everybody does not know their calling if they're asked about it. AND recognizing your fears and blocks is one of the hardest thing to inner work on. It takes time to go through all the veils to the core and know what we are here to do. Most of the times we must endure suffering and hardships to discover and refine what we really want. So people, don't feel bad if you don't know what you're supposed to do yet, be patient with yourself and take your own time - there is no limit of time for anyone because our paths are all different. Just start looking now (if you're in this page you are already searching) and you'll find it eventually, that's for sure! Good luck :)
Carina Beringuilho. Thank you. 4 years later. LOL
Thank you
Yess. Thank you ❤️
No, there is a limit. That's a nice nice thought, but can't wait 40 years. Must know NOW. Nope, if I haven't found it. I'm not going to.
Thank you for this I was beginning to loose hope and give up.
Some people know their "calling" right from when they were little but a lot of people don't. Even those searching for many years. Sometimes you have to look at your life as a whole and see where it is leading you. For some may have more than one "calling".
Dear Ms Oprah,
From the age of 14 that i have been watching your shows to the age of 25 still following your work, i just wanted to say thank you so much for being such an inspiring and my greatest teacher in life. This past year especially, as i have been trying to navigate my way through life and trying to figure who I am and what is it that i am here to do in life you have been truly my soul whisperer and have opened my eyes to look at life at a completely different angle. thank you for being who you are in the world, your purpose in life to teach and awaken consciousness has been fulfilled in my life:) i find myself waking up so much lighter than before and ready to face the music no matter the beat.
I thank God for you and i pray He continues to show Himself through you to me and many many people in the world.
Thank You
Yours inspired

I agree. I am 50 years old and from the US. I believe that Oprah is by far the single most influential person in the world for good.
Love your words and appreciation Sharon!!! Especially "ready to face the music not matter the beat"
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I totally believe we have a calling, we act upon it everyday as we interact with people we meet. Especially, when working, you feel there is a flow with your day.
Best advice I ever got was pretend every job paid the same amount of money...what would you choose to do...really think about it and then go after that everything else will fall into place find your passion
the end is the best part to me right now" the war of art" the closer you get to manifesting your dream the harder you have to fight
As a metaphysical theologian, my thought is that your "only" job is NOT to "find your purpose" - it's to fulfill your purpose, to live it, to express it. Your purpose is not necessarily pre-ordained. If it were, life would be a cruel joke to a lot of people who can't "find" their purpose. It's not outside of you, it's not a secret thing you have to look for and find. Sometimes it feels like we've "found" it or "discovered" it, but ultimately we choose our purpose. So if you're not sure of your purpose, choose something that inspires you, what is meaningful, something that contributes to a better world, even if that means caring for just one person and helping them to have a dignified, better life thanks to you. Just to love is enough. Our collective purpose is really about learning to love better. How you do that is a choice.
When they talked about purpose in the video I feel that they meant everything that you are saying. It's not ordained. She has said that in the past if you have watched her over the years you would understand that and what would be the point of doing all of the work to find your purpose if you did not "fulfill your purpose, to live it, to express it". Stop being so righteous. You are saying what Oprah and Mr. Pressfield are expressing just in a different way. Finally, what does your being a metaphysical theologian matter? Sounds like you need to justify your opinion. No need.
♥️🙌🏽🙌🏽
I know my calling is helping people in anyway and becoming a motivational speak but fear of the unknow thats keep me from doing it but everyday i ask God to make me fearless and step out and do it. thank you Oprah for all your inspirational videos. I love you and i wish one day u can come to Trinidad.
I just kept thinking, let the man speak...at least let him finish a sentence.
Wow me too.l thought it was just me.l wonder if there is awareness of how much she interrupts.
The Sunday Stylist that's because she's a sabotager what's this guy name?
Seriously!
its her show thats why
I agree. I understand by nature she's a talker but she also have to be a listener. That's called being balance. I hope she become AWARE that being unbalanced can create problems.🤔 bcuz she prevented her guest from having the opportunity to provide solutions for helping the viewer's with this issue of finding their purpose in life. She wasn't transparent at all😞
ThX U Oprah for saying that! As soon as he said most people will know, I immediately said NO THEY DON’T.
Friend just said this to me. Mission and purpose is kind of convoluted your mission and purpose is really to discover your own innate divinity the divine is going to support you no matter where you go or what you want to do you simply want to follow your greatest joy and if it seems like it’s just all falling into place and it’s really what you want to do then it’s your choice to do it that’s the scary part is how truly powerful and truly in control we are we want to give our control over to some higher authority and yet it really is up to us to decide what is right.
I have asked a lot of people in my life... Aunts, parents and uncles.... Trust me people don't know their calling, they have never even thought about it... When I ask if they fulfilled, they even more confused... They happy/content with not knowing. And they doing well...
boipelo polite Could some people be in survival mode? They are simply too busy to think about things like that when they have to work to pay the bills, take care of their children, put food on the table etc.... Usually people with a lot more time to think, contemplate the bigger questions in life. Again, just some food for thought. ( Some of the greatest classic writers for example came from wealthy families.)
I agree with Oprah, there are more people living not knowing what their true calling is. Some people think that just because they have kids, that is their calling and that is NOT it. He needs to go to schools and talk to all age levels and that will give him awareness that most people do not know their calling.
I've met too many people who honestly think that if one does not get married & start a family by a certain age, then one is simply "a waste of space". They believe they are duty-bound to do their part in physically perpetuating the human race with no regard whatsoever to contributing one iota to the evolution of human consciousness itself.
I am a writer who is now, as I like to say, on the other side of 40, happily unmarried & child-free. I have middle-aged, married-with-kids co-workers who seem unsettled, even offended, by my freedom to live on my own terms. Interestingly, I know that many of them would be overwhelmed by the same liberties I enjoy. What I mean is that there are people who experience the freedom of choice as the burden of choice; they can't handle it & so look to others to shadow, as it were, others must tell them what to do, think, believe, & even feel about...everything.
This man is amazing, but Oprah, let him talk!
I agree, there was so much to learn from this man, but she made it about herself.
She NEVER let’s anyone talk! 🤦🏾♀️
Lol
That's what I was just saying
Haha she does it all the time
Passions + unique gifts and talents + social need = purpose and dharma I have interviewed 180 people on how they found their purpose 🌈🐛🦋
I have to say we as a consciousness have evolved into freedom more than the limited thinking that's taking place in this conversation. You feel your way into your calling more than anything, that being said, as you are working your day job while manifesting the calling into being you might have to get up early during that phase of expansion. The more you expand into what and who you feel you must be evolving into, the more relaxed you begin to feel on your days off. It's as if we are going forward by going backward. What I mean by that in order to receive more we work less or DO less. When our nervous systems begin to calm down more as a result of intentional relaxation and de-stressing and letting go of the drama that we may have observed or even accidentally became part of, then allowing is able to unfold. Our new signal to the Universe is "This is I want more of...ways and time to relax. I never have to worry anymore because I know the Universe not only provides my daily needs in abundance, but the money is always there for my bills in plenty of time. My kids and I are already safe. I have a beautiful home and an amazing, hard-working, super overachieving spouse. Why would the Universe need me to do anything more? All I need to do is just BE. I have expanded my thinking and expanded my vision board and now I move into a space of trust. My inspired action is to trust and allow the Universe to bring me the vision I have created by me just being a human BEING. I AM a powerful creator! I have seen the Universe manifest many things for me already. Why would it stop now? I should be able to relax. So I am sleeping in this weekend. I am going on a weekend trip. I am going to EMBODY more of what I would do if I had complete abundance and freedom!" THAT is getting out of the way of your own creation.
Oprah- thank you for being a continuous light in this world. I often wished that i wasn’t at work or school when your show came on so I can enjoy it. Now I get to enjoy your inspiring words of wisdom whenever I need the extra boost. I am a writer, I’ve been a writer since I needed an avenue for my emotions after my parents divorce. I now wish to leave me full time job to enjoy the freedom of entrepreneurship using my gift. I know that my calling is somewhere within that- I’ve also been reading some Steve Harvey. Thank you for your channel- Own itself and on CZcams.
If I had three months to live I would say goodbye to my family, go to an island and chill out unless I can find a way to not die of course. Whether you have three months, years or decades changes everything - don’t understand when people do this scenario thingy
When I was younger I went to college for music. I'd wanted, since I was a younger person to be a 'star'(singer/songwriter). I now realize it was more to do with not being nurtured as a child and wanting love from the outside. I am still searching for love of self and also nurturing that dream of using my voice. I just recorded my first animation demo reel as I'd like to do voice over work. I don't care that it is more of a career behind the scenes. I can still utilize my creativity.
I read a wonderful line a while back ; " Every child is an artist until they are told they are not " . That impacted me after I first read it that I at that time wished I had read that simple line before I had children.
+Billy Beaton I've read this line awhile back, after being told that I was not. It has allowed me to become that which I am, after overcoming what I was told that in which I wasn't . It's known as Grace, to me. Freedom and Grace
Just start reading, still obsessed with your book. Thank you, Oprah &Steven for sharing your wisdom.
The calling of humanity is to recognize our true nature.
Everyone can improve themselves in some way. Self improvement can become a calling and if not it can lead to your calling..physically, mentally, intellectually, spiritually and in so many other ways..
What a gorgeous set/property
My thoughts exactly! It's almost distracting! Hahahaha! But... in a good way!
Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (just google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for finding your true calling and achieving success minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate after many years got amazing success with it.
try to meditate, everyday, and ask about your calling, you'll get the answer.
thank you - interesting ;-)
Your answer is better than this video! LOL
Pray, meditation , sholat, it doesn't matter what is your religion, belief, as long as you really wanted to connect and having personal experience with the Divine or God, we can practice, learn to know Him, ask yourself and challenge yourself , because life is not always about material and physical, it also spiritual. God Bless..-namaste
The answer will be the sound of your own voice
Who to ask?. Buddhism is a satanic religion, so is Hinduism and many others. Only Jesus Christ saves life (John 14:6). KJV bible version. Many buddhists bow down to dead idol buddha statues. Dead idol worship is dead wrong. Hinduists bow down to false gods, many of them. You shall not have false gods over your god in heaven. No other gods shall you have.
Our job--purpose--in life is to experience challenges that the soul is only able to experience in this 3D world in order to grow. We are also here to anchor love (express love to others) in order to raise our vibrational frequency and in so doing also contribute to raising the vibrational frequency of the collective consciousness and the planet.
This statement he makes resonates. "When we start to show sings(as kids) that we're going towards the light they(family) feel threatened.... because they wanna have us, they wanna keep us.. "
I’m so happy that I found this video! This is my problem I allow people to tell me that I’m not worthy or the things that I want to do in life is a unreality. I’m seeing more and more that if I do the things that I don’t want to do just to make someone else happy, I’m not going to be happy. So I’m starting my journey of doing things that will make me happy!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos Oprah. You are an inspiration and I love these conversations you have with your guests.
This is really TRUE.... This is always how I feel....always sabotaging myself to please people....
I love this. I love you, Oprah! You've been a guiding light for me and our country for so many years!
Why is a passion/desire always just one thing? I have so many passions and ambitions that I never have enough time to make it far in any of them... but investing into one leaves me pained in having sacrificed the others...
this!!!!!!! same with me
Happy to be your words :) Now if someone would answer...
Anna Z if i may ask...what are your passions? :)
Talk about making a lady feel special. :) Sure! Where to start... I'm passionate about expressing my best, authentic self and being a catalyst for those who are determined to be likewise... I'm impassioned about designing, interacting with and facilitate-teaching (kids?) in a self-sustaining permaculture community and letting it go viral ;)...Passionate about living out my fantasies with a twin-flame or soulmate that needs the best of what I have to offer and gives me the kind of love I crave.
experiencing all things in life bar things very dangerous or harmful (most of all, really want to fly like in my dreams :P). I yearn to express my ideals to millions and billions through various art forms such as interior decorating, dress, painting, writing and music. I want to become a very skilled musician and dancer. I love sports and games, love humour, love learning, love adventure, love the deep&meaningful, love all forms of intimacy. I want to raise a family. I desire to increase love and happiness in the world, for people to love themselves and others both in feeling and deed. That's what I can recall at the top of my head. XD Just love life and wish I had an eternal youth to experience and mould it! I'm 26, have 2 people in my life, I'm a homemaker girlfriend (unpaid), you're the first to ask me about my passions, and I have less than $1000 in the bank. This is where I'm at and that is where I envision to be. :D Haha.
lool woow u have soo much love! to give its inspiring...i mean anyone who tells me they have a passion for teaching kids is already an angel in my eyes cause i cant imagine myself doing that lol kids are very lovely though(when they are quiet and happy) but when they are not happy(which is often atimes) they can be a huge pain in the ass lool...soo me i am a music freak!! i want to become a very skilled musician and writer too,i want to score films,make a pop albums,am a huge huge justin timberlake fan,i want to make his next album with timbaland(the greatest producer of all time) lool,i have a huge passion for movies as well,i want to direct movies but unfortunately i cannot write! i just really really wish i had a passion for writing,it'd just make my skillset complete lol soo,i just want to do it all lol....do you write music or play scripts,what kind of writing do you do? and what kind of music do you listen to? :)
Calling .... gee... one must be quite blessed to live out their calling. Especially if it requires a lot from them.
I agree that most people don't know and I also think we don't have just one calling. We have different passions and callings throughout our lifetime.
Forget the calling. Just live!
I love these bite-sized videos to inspire you! Thank you, Oprah :)
You are meant to do what you want to do. That's your calling.
+jonathan jacquez The problem lies with not knowing what you want to do.
Nathan Jacquez Thank you captain obvious...
George Harrison said "Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that
."
Nathan Jacquez not exactly, you could desire to be a pro tennis player but is that what you have been CALLED TO DO;)
Jim Morrison was a very primal and sensitive soul. His father was an admiral in Viet Nam. The father wrote a letter that was brutal telling him he had no talent for singing or performing or poetry. I have always felt that devestation drove him to drink. After he died the same father admitted he was one of the greatest performers or channelers of group energy to live. Jim had to be free and his family was conventional and constrained to the point of strangling his personality type. I suggest everyone read the Briggs-Myer Personality type book. Then fauvist like me and Morrison don't have to internalize the rejection by other "conventional" types. Both types are absolutely normal. Just an ENFJ is 1% of the population so I've gotten lots of familiar push back vs lots of clinician support. Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself, everyone else is taken". I take this as a warning. Be yourself or destroy yourself by rejecting your true nature. You are not here to simply suffer and endure judgement.
Oprah you are my biggest inspiration! I'm studying your success and perspective so I can bring as much light and positivity into the world as you. I have producers interested in collaborating with me to make a TV show that has same intentions as yours. Thank you for being such a great leader and showing me how it is done. I happened across the Book "The Oprah WInfrey Show: Reflections on an America Legacy" that celebrates you and your show and I have been devouring it, gaining insights into format and content ideas. Clarifying my intentions, expanding my ideas of what is possible for expanding and raising consciousness. I love watching great teachers teach, it shows me whats possible and excites me. And thank you so much to your team - for making it possible for us to enjoy your teachings and be nurtured by them. Each and every person on your team is doing such valuable important work. They make it possible for us to be enriched by the teachings. A sincere and deep thank you to you all at OWN. For your dedication and commitment to being agents of positive change.
I agree so much, I use that light analogy woth my kids all the time, i tell them that the Northern star keeps on shining despite all the darkness around. The self sabotage is also one I know😷. Thank you.
She’s a great interviewer. I wish I were that good.
I disagree. I think most people DO NOT know their calling.
I agree...
+Lisa Wilkinson I'm always searching for that answer...
I think people find out what their calling is through life. Just because most people do not know their calling today doesn't mean they wouldn't have figured it out tomorrow.
mysingalongsong Maybe due to the fact Most are too busy looking for more money, playing video games, and watching TV...to "Know Themselves".. Plus ppl Never take the time to Be Alone long enough to find out. If they Stopped long enough to "Look Within".. they could find out. ...
mysingalongsong I disagree, I think they do, but they feel it is too big or too small so they dont acknowledge itbas a calling. They compare it to what thry have been conditioned to believe a looks like or feels like...
What were the 4 questions? I don't think they enumerated them.
yeah I was wondering the same thing
AJ 1) what is your calling?
2) if fear and money wasn't a factor, what would you do?
3) if you had 3 months to live, what would be the last thing you would do?
4) what are you most afraid of?
Those are great questions BUT the answer will keep changing according to the circumstances I'm living. For example, If I had only 3 months to live, I would tell my crush that I love him and let's suppose I did and we started dating then the answer to that question would change every now and then, so a calling is not a fixed thing that stays forever with you, it changes over time in my opinion.
H M ze
@@lolalove786 thanks
Just put those questions on my to-do list to ask several times over the next few months. Keep chipping away!
Most people don't know their calling because this world makes it so tough to follow through, so they give up and think they were wrong. Also you have to be careful because sometimes being obsessed with finding your calling can play into the ego.
Oprah and Steven have such awesome chemistry! This was powerful to watch & listen to. Cool.
I still think that a calling is a result of a life time experiences. Trying to figure it out desperately seems to be the trendy pathology and it becomes an obsessive quest.
Going for desires is a human purpose. But I think looking for a purpose is pointless. Only the Quest remains meaningful.
This made me cry!!! I know my calling but it's definitely frightening. Thanks guys.
Hi, 7 years passed, are you doing your calling?
Yeah, I cried a little also. Living in my dream is frightening.
Man, I Love Steven Pressfield’s books. This is too short!! Would love to see the whole thing. Do we need the Own app to view it?
OPRAH!
OWN!
IT'S Y(OUR) OWN. THANK YOU, FOR GIFTING US ALL!
Oprah really love your platform. It’s helping so many of us. X
well actually when i was little i was always told you can do whatever you set your mind to and i just wanted to be an author
oh man , she interrupt him in the most important part in his answer!!! omg... please Oprah let the man speak
She's desperate to look like she knows the answers and is the expert but she's actually clueless... She aquarius... They are know it all... Kind of characters, intellectual but can't read subtlety. Very annoying and hard to teach.
Ego
Oprah is terrified of being upstaged and steals the center at the most critical moments of her guests expression.She's got to be the alpha ,which would work as a ships captain but sucks as a talk show host.Maybe she missed her calling.
she is very annoying
I love my mom so much, she meant well but when she stoped me from playing music in 9th grade, to focus on my studies, that kinda dropped my grades 10-15%. I was an A student. Music was my mind workout, too bad i knew it too late and believed that it was bad.
Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (google it)? It is an awesome one off guide for finding your true calling and achieving success without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy finally got cool results with it.
It's so true that question asked if you know you're gonna die: what would you like the most? I asked that To Jéhovah...that I would be released if my son, my best friend, my family and friends and all the others will live in a better world...that's the only thing that I asked...then, I will be sure that he will be protected...if his kingdom will come in the earth like he promised in his scriptures...Thank you To reminded me that moment...the one whom you Feel the calling of your soul...
That's what I was told about writing by my parents. I used to write fan fictions for fun & work on possible books on the side for my future as an author, but after my mom in particular constantly bashing me about how hard it would be to be a good writer, or at least good enough to make a living, I started believing it. Now I pretty much play video games for fun, & while I love it I know I'm not good enough (nor am I disciplined enough) to go pro. Otherwise I wouldn't be in school for something I don't want right now...I'll have to get back to writing soon.
Oprah brings people on then just speaks over them lol.
Her rudeness is getting very transparent. Lolol
I would love to have heard what he had to say. 🙁
It's her show
Lol. So true.
I think she's headlong to gleen knowledge from folks she can have dynamically charged conversation and sharing ... With love .SMILE. I do hear ya tho as well 😄
It could also that you have different phases in your life, which correspond to different callings. I got heavily into badminton and competed for some time, but got injured. I got into music and it made a big impact on me. I have gotten into chess and studied hard for it. I have helped people through meditation. The next stage might be raising wonderful kids, or traveling the world to inspire people. Its true that many things we don't do because of money and to live in this modern world. But hopefully we can all find a balance between making a living, and doing things that make us feel complete.
Great. Video. Thank. You. So. Much. For. The. Education
THANK YOU, Ms.Oprah for saying that some of us DO NOT KNOW our calling.. I sure do not and I am trying to figure it out.
To keep it simple I believe if you want change, growth, or even your calling to become more clear...simply know what brings you peace and solace in a world full of chaos then exploit it, cherish it, baby it. Before you know it you will be living your calling and strengthening yourself in the process on multiple levels of many aspects.
Change in ones life never was easy hints the perspective of comparison towards another for a sense of relief using the excuse "well at least I'm not doing this or that. Even believing that what you're doing now could be worse!" Subliminally mind blocking oneself to believe finding contentment in life is enough but to know your calling and to deal with any and all adversity to make your calling known or tangible takes a great deal of not being content but being constantly uncomfortable. Pushing for new growth by digging inside and facing the biggest enemy on the planet behind the naked eye...Yourself!
I wanted more finished too quick and yes Oprah needed to give him room to talk and finish his sentence. He had some valid points to share.
Love that video. Thank You ❤️❤️❤️
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
apparently oprah's calling is interupting people.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOLLLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOL!!
Dude 😀😀😀😀
😂😂
😂
😂😂😂Good point
O Canada!! Oprah & Steve, that's my favorite song!
Tbh Idk if this helps, like the question of "what would you do if you had 3 months to live?" Or "if fear wasn't a factor", like idk how to answer that, if I did I think I'd know my purpose. Also I think life purpose can change, like I used to wanna be the world's best manga artist as a kid, and pursued it, and evolved in to doing other forms of art, now studying at uni and I'm sick of a bit now, like I think it can change, and I wanna know how to re-find my purpose
This is just very fascinating subject, but our only purpose in live is to live our live happy and doing good along our walk in life. I found very time consuming to worry too much about our purpose because the rich, the super famous, all kind of world leaders of all venues dies, not one is immune to death, the most important as well as the most insignificant human being. Our real purpose is to live and have agreat experience of the temporary adventure name life
This is so true🙌🙌🙌
Another question is "if money was not an issue, what would you do daily?" After traveling around the world, what would your day be like? You are getting closer to finding your calling...
I want to be a writer. I've also been telling people for years that I wanted to write a book and, of course, it always backfires. I've always felt sabotaged by what others think, but I realized I was actually the one sabotaging myself. I still find it difficult to look at my work and judge for myself if the material I produced is worth reading. I've been holding off on this manuscript for a long time. I still need to conquer my fears.
Please let The Experts talk Oprah 🙏🙏🙏 They have so much to teach us 😁😁
I have a lot to offer and look forward to new and exciting opportunities around the corner.
So good!
Oprah needs to calm down and let the man talk for a bit ........ like really what's the point of having him on if you already have the answers to everything ?! :/
I agree. She always do that. I always want to hear from the people she interviewed them. But she ask the questions & wouldn't let them talk. I hope she will read the comments.
@@almazhabteslassie4415 i was thinking the same thing.she is literally asking and answering all her questions...she does this all the time
Art of listening 👂
Act of kindness
1. Let him talk
2. Operah talk
3. Do nothing... she haven’t learn yet. U r judging her.
An interesting segment from this fellow. Although, I don't think if he asked me if I were to die tomorrow what would I do in fact be my true calling.... If it were, then we all could be quickly on our way to this discovery. It seems there are many synonyms to finding your "calling". It could be passion, destiny to be in life, your gift(s), etc... I agree with Oprah sharing that negativity towards that which we may be trying really do disrupt the process, regardless of our being in a conscious or subconscious pursuit to connect with our "calling", etc... If one is in this pursuit, happy journey. As Dag Hammarskjold once said, " The longest journey, is the journey inward."
Oprah is brilliant. Those who say it’s ‘all about her’ or ‘she always interrupts’ don’t understand what she is trying to do. Next time you are in a conversation on a subject you are really passionate about ask yourself two questions:
1. Is this conversation about me or them?
2. Am I interrupting?
Be honest with yourself. Oprah creates conversations based on her purpose in life. She is making a positive impact on the world when so many aren’t. Why do you criticise her? She is one of the good guys and right now the world needs them.
I sure as hell dont know. And Im almost 40. Been trying to figure it out for years.🤷🏼♀️
I find the better way to thinking about it is to focus on finding your calling for just *this year* I talk about that in a recent video
Hardly anyone knows their true calling. If you think you know-then it is your ego and mind talking. If you think that you love something or like doing something, then again it is your own mind talk. You are here for someone else's purpose and to serve that purpose is the reason for existence.
It’s always all about her no matter who speaks.
That is reality ..... most people don't know ....
This came at the right time.
If you are left pondering, you could always look at your north node in your astrological natal chart and the house it sits in. This will give you an hypothetical purpose in life (or more a major karmic obstacle you will have to go through in your life). You don't have to believe in that. In fact it's better to always question everything in life. But you could be surprised too.
Me, too. If people know what their gifts were, what their purpose on Earth was, they wouldn't have to ask anyone else. When Mr Pressfield said what would you do if you were gonna die in three months? If fear or money was not a factor? I can't even answer this question. And Oprah bragging about her success doesn't help. She knows her purpose in life, and she's lucky. She shouldn't be surprised that lots of people do not know. I was also discouraged from my dreams as a child, but does that mean what I wanted when I was 6 is my path in life now?
Thankx so much
Thank you Oprah
Why don't we just "LISTEN"...Make a choice for our own selves...Watch the video if you want...I have - and it changed my life for the POSITIVE ❤️
Being A Mother answer all 4 questions for me🥰
Thank you! :)
Joy is something, we can all use in our everyday life..."Especially", with so much negativity, going on, in the world today.... Never been one, to concern myself, with other's as far as where they are in life or going out of my way, to hate on them, for no reason, but, it seems, to be the norm now a days, for every day people, to be caught up, on what is going on in the people's life an I find that to be nosey an down right, very disrespectful..... Just wish, that people, would put out, better energy, instead of negative behavior's........Love showing an helping others, how to grow, inside the comfort, of their well being, Just an amazing way, to pass on, Great Wisdom, Positive Vibes an Soul Filled Joy, To Help, Up Lift, Their Energy, Toward Greater Heights, Within, Their Spiritual Flow..............
i love you OPRAH WINFREY
I want to like this video. Would have been helpful to include the 4 questions like the title suggests. More generic talk like I expected.
Stop blaming your mom, practice forgiveness and move on!
