Even though we (I went with Vanessa and her sisters and her mom) were seated way way back, I wouldn't have missed this opportunity for the world. There is nothing that compares to seeing one of your idols in person. I especially liked seeing Oprah behind the scenes and in between the takes. She was amiable, funny, professional and compassionate. And when she said things like "I appreciate your waiting in the long lines", I believed it. 

I can't really relay the lessons I learned that day - its one of those 'you had to be there' situations - but one message I took away is to believe in your vision, your dreams and goals, whatever those may be.

Back in January, I wrote out my Life List. I put meeting Oprah right there, at #23. While I didn't exactly meet her, I'm going to call this goal done. Did putting my vision out into the universe help it to happen? I think so. And you know what - since I posted my Life List, I've knocked off or started more items on the list in the last three months than I have in the last three years. 

The ones in green are complete and the ones in italics are in motion. Tony Robbins talked about that at the LifeClass... he said "Emotion creates motion"... be excited, just start moving, put your mind and body in motion and things will happen. I've found that's true. Writing down my Life List was a bit of a kickstart, a mental reset, a little spark which has started the ball rolling.

I don't want to get all woo-woo on you, but Oprah reminded me that everything I need to achieve what I want is already within me. Its within you too. And that's a pretty amazing thing.
