American television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey, shares three lessons in life at a Stanford commencement speech.
1. Feelings are the GPS system for life - When you are supposed to be doing something or not suppose to be doing something your emotional guidance system lets you know. The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gut instead.
2. Failure and difficulty - Asking yourself, "What is this here to teach me?" Whatever you resist persists but by asking this question it puts you in a place and space to get the lesson you need.
3. Finding happiness - Live in the present and be in the moment. Whatever happened in the past does not have any power over this present moment because life is now. Be a part of something, don't live for yourself alone. In order to be truly happy, you must live along with and you have to stand for something larger than yourself.
